Ingredients

6 medium sized potatoes choose ones that are approximately 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter

canola or peanut oil - to fill 1/2 of a 5 quart pot

Kosher salt

Directions

If you have a food processor set your slicing blade to 1/4" this seemed to be the best slice size, or of course you could use the madolin, slice your potatoes skins on (well scrubbed of course).

Immediately submerge in a large bowl of water that contains 4 cups of ice and 2 cups of cold water. Allow the potatoes to rest in the cold water for 20 minutes.

On a large towel place each potato slice on the towel and blot dry.

Heat your oil to fry temp just over 320 and under 370 gives the best results. Being careful not to over crowd the pot place 6-8 potatoes into the oil and cook to golden brown flipping as you go.

With a slotted spoon or a spider remove your chips from the oil and place on paper towels to drain any excess oils.

Sprinkle with salt - or be adventerous and add anything you think you might like as a flavor.

My mother always made us homemade chips or the North American term is "french fries". They were finger shaped but sometimes she would fry up some coin sliced potatoes. Oh, they were just sooooooooo good!!! I love the name you have given them ;-)

These sound soooooooooo good. A lady I went to church with when I was a teenager back in the 70s made home made potato chips. I don't know how she was able to cut the slices so perfect and so thin because all she had was a kinfe. LOL Thanks for sharing this recipe.
