Mandoline

Ingredients

4 lbs of potatoes sliced very thin
8 cups of oil enough to fry in
3 tbsp seasoning salt at a minimum
Misc. seasonings

Instructions

Slice potatoes very thin using a mandolin in to a large bowl of ice water.
Preheat oil to 350 degrees F.
Rinse potatoes off with clean water.

Place about a dozen potato slices into the oil (closely monitor oil temp. Keep it right at 350 degrees F)

Notes

It's super important to season the second the chips come out of the oil. The seasoning will not stick will unless they the chips still have a hint of oil on the outside.
