Heat peanut oil in a large wok, deep fryer, or Dutch oven to 350°F. Line a large bowl with paper towels and have ready. Working in four batches, remove potato chips from water and spin dry in a salad spinner. Add to oil one chip at a time, working quickly, until all chips are in the oil. Temperature will drop. Adjust heat to maintain temperature between 275 and 300°F (chips should bubble vigorously). Cook, agitating and flipping chips occasionally with a large metal spider until bubbles reduce to a faint trickle, removing chips as they finish cooking and transferring to the paper towel-lined bowl. Sprinkle each batch with 1/4 of seasoning mixture while still hot, tossing to coat, and transfer to a large bowl to cool. Repeat until all chips are cooked and coated.
