Potato Chips
Ingredients
Directions
Slice potatoes very thinly using a slicer or sharp knife.
Soak the slices in cold water for 10 to 24 hours to remove starch.
Heat hot fat in a frying pan.
Fry the potato slices in batches until brown, ensuring the basket is no more than one-third full.
Drain on brown paper and sprinkle with coarse sea salt while still warm.
If desired, fry the potatoes a day in advance and recrisp in the oven before serving.
