How Do I Keep My Potato Chips Light In Color?

Hi, I am trying to make potato chips, the thin crunchy type that are sold in supermarket, but I have a big problem, when fry them until all water is gone and they are crunchy and they become very dark in color. The chips sold in the supermarket are blond in color. No matter what I do, different potatoes, different temperature, soak in water, nothing works. If you could tell me the secret I would really appreciate it. Help me please!
