Potato Chips
Ingredients
Directions
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly.
Wash the slices in cold water, then drain and dry thoroughly.
Heat the frying fat in a wire basket until very hot.
Fry the potato slices until cooked, then remove and reheat the fat.
Wait until blue vapor rises from the fat, then return the basket and fry until crisp and lightly browned.
Drain well, sprinkle with salt, and serve.
