  2. While the oil is heating up, prepare the potato slices by drying them with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

  3. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potato slices in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

  4. Fry the potatoes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
