Potato crisps are nearly as much fun to make and another good instance for the young of how food manufacturers make a lot of money out of very little. One good-sized potato will make a decent bowl of crisps.
You need to slice the peeled potato very thin in an ideal world you?ll have a proper mandolin, but this is not the sort of utensil that springs speedily to hand in the modern kitchen.
Then let the potatoes soak in water to get the starch out.
They?re not ready for frying until they are beginning to curl.
Drain them, pat them dry, and then watch them dance in the hot oil.
Fry in hot oil at 390? f. until a light golden brown.
Now don't try frying too many at once, it is better to put one layer on the frying basket.
Drain on paper towels or any kind of plain crumpled absorbent paper.
You have to watch somewhat carefully the period between undercooked and burnt is about 15 seconds.
Season lightly with salt and don?t forget to experiment with different seasonings! I like to use smoked paprika with cayenne or even some of the store bought seasonings.
Serve and Enjoy!
