Saratoga Potatoes
Ingredients
Directions
Purchase a frying kettle with a basket that holds 4 to 8 quarts.
Slice the potatoes thinly using a slicer.
Thoroughly dry the sliced potatoes with clean towels.
Heat the lard in the kettle.
Fry the potato slices until golden brown.
Remove the basket from the lard and let it rest on a sheet of brown paper.
Sprinkle fine table salt over the chips and arrange them on a platter without crowding.
