Saratoga Chips
Ingredients
Directions
Peel the potatoes and slice them very thin using a potato slicer if possible.
Wash the potato slices in one or two waters.
Cover the slices with fresh water and place a lump of ice on top. Let them stand for an hour.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and wipe them dry with a towel.
Fry the potatoes in boiling fat, being careful not to overcrowd the basket.
Fry until brown and crisp, then drain on paper.
Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and serve.
