Recipe - Papitas Del Yacht Club (Yacht Club Potato Chips)

4 lg Baking potatoes, peeled
Peanut or vegetable oil for
frying
Salt to taste
1 Using a mandoline adjusted
to the thinnest cutting
width, slice the

potatoes paper thin, and immediately place the slices in a large bowl
filled with cold salted water. 2. In a deep fryer or a frying pan over
mediumhigh heat, heat 2 to 3 inches of oil to 375 degrees, or until a
slice of potato sizzles when it touches the oil. Drain the potato slices,
pat them dry with paper towels, and fry a handful at a time, turning with a
slotted spoon until brown and crisp. Do not fry too many chips at once, or
the oil temperature will fall and the chips will be soggy rather than
crisp. Drain on a papertowellined platter, transfer to a serving bowl,
sprinkle liberally with salt, and serve hot. Makes about 4 cups of chips
