Ingredients

  • 1 tsp coarse salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large potatoes

Directions

  • Wash then slice the potatoes very thinly. As you slice, drop them into deep, cold water. A mandolin does the best job of this and the slices should be only slightly thicker than regular potato chips.
  • Bring a deep pan of frying oil to 375 °F (190 °C).
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly, then fry for a couple minutes until crisp and golden.
  • Drain on paper towels and then season generously with salt.
  • Note: you will need to use a fryer or a pan with enough oil to completely cover each potato slice.
