Saratoga Chips

Ingredients

• first class potatoes
• fat for frying
• coarse sea salt

Directions

1. Wash, peel, and dry the potatoes.

2. Slice them thin and dry between linen towels.

3. Heat the fat until smoking hot.

4. Drop a small whole potato into the fat to prevent burning.

5. Fry the chips a few at a time until crisp.

6. Remove with a wire whisk, drain, and sprinkle with salt.

7. For fancy chips, use a fancy potato slicer and cut into desired shapes.

8. Do not wash the sliced potatoes if you want them to be crisp.
