First I take one of our homegrown Kennebec potatoes and slice it very, very thin. I then place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of very cold water and let them sit for at least 30 minutes (this helps them to brown nicely). Then, I heat the oil up to where it is as hot as it can be without smoking and place the thinly sliced potatoes in the hot oil. I let them cook until they start to turn a nice golden brown. I then drain and salt. Delicious!
