Cookbook:Potato Chips

The following recipe is for crispy homemade potato chips.

Ingredients

 * Potatoes
 * Vegetable oil
 * Salt

Procedure

 * 1) Peel the potatoes and rinse under running water.
 * 2) Prepare a bowl of cold water. Use a sharp knife or vegetable peeler to make very thin slices of potato, placing them directly into the water.
 * 3) Drain off the water, and rinse the potato slices three times with fresh tap water. After the final rinse, cover the potatoes with cold water again.
 * 4) Season the potatoes and water with salt, and allow them to brine for a while.
 * 5) Drain the potato slices well, removing excess water.
 * 6) Heat enough vegetable oil in a pot for deep frying.
 * 7) Working in batches, add the potato slices to the hot oil. Fry, stirring at intervals until the slices are crispy.
 * 8) Use a perforated spoon to remove the chips. Place them in a large sieve set over a bowl to drain any excess oil.
 * 9) Repeat the frying procedure until all potato slices have been fried.
 * 10) Allow the chips to cool before serving.
