'tater Chips Homemade

I like potato chips preferably pringles or the Cap Cod Dark Russet. Lately i've been finding myself snacking on the Terra exotic veggie chips, this is probably because I find most of the chips too salty (I don't really even care for the low salt).

I like making my own homemade chips as I can season the oil with whatever I want (loads of garlic) some cinnamon, onion powder and make the flavoring more of one flavor (Garlic) than onion or whatever way want them cooked.

I prefer them cooked in the pot sort of deep fried but not. I only put maybe a cup or 2 in of preferred oil & a tab or 2 of REAL BUTTER (not margerine) to get them browned. I love the Cap Cod Dark russet brand chips.

This is frying them but not really deep fry. you can use any oil you use to cook with I use veggie oil

(I have yet to experiment & bake them)

*after slicing the preferred amount of potatoes,

*dry out slices first (or it will take MUCH longer to cook) Put a dishtowel on a pan then paper towels on a pan for potatoes to dry. (maybe even in a sunny window even better if that window has a radiator & let them sit for a half hour or so. (but you need to turn them a bit as the water from the top drains the bottom slices will become the wettest.

* while those are drying a bit get oil ready. Add the seasonings & bring the oil to a boil then

*carefully add about a handful or 2 of potatoes

*Cook until golden (or your preferred darkness)

*take out & put on paper towel covered dish to drain.

put in another bunch of slices & repeat.

When the first batch in the dish has drained....before you take out the 2nd batch from the oil remove batch from the first dish, & put on the already drained dish

I have taken some pics, but sadly as I might have mentioned my memory card, or the computer (something) won't co-operate so as soon as 'Evil' (yes I named it out of frustration when I first got it for other Evil things it did or did not want to do.) it that whe I first got So as soon as Evil decides to be nice, I will post.}

• a few potatoes (think at least 1 per person of medium to large size)

  Today (march 15) I used four 2 big 2 small

• pot
• Veggetable Oil
• paper towels on a dish (for the cooked potatoes to drain) AFTER sliced
• Slicer (I use the thin flat one that came with myMicrowave Chip maker)
• seasonings
• 2-3 paper bags & 2 large plates or 'cooling' pans
• Dish Towel

If you are going to be BAKING

them be sure to still use the thin slicer

also a non-stick baking sheet or pan

you will want to drizzle some of the Veggie or oilive oil over the potatoes. Maybe even a little melted butter for a nice browning & to get crispier.

one of the seasonings for baking is B-B-Q. Brush on a thin coat on one or both sides (2nd side after first side is cooked this way it gets that baked in flavor & will hopefully not be so messy.) If you can find BBQ powder you can use this for a lot less mess (especially if you have kids).

I don't have a pre heat, or set time to cook as I have yet to experiment this way.

(depending on how many potatoes you have to cut I think it may take at least 3-5 minutes to get a nice thin cut going so I'm estimating 5 minutes per potato cut

ad another 2-3 minutes to season well

Prep Time: about 10 minutes

Total Time: 40+

Serves: 1 person per potato
