Homemade Potato Chips

These were a fun find from foodnetwork.com! I deep fried these in coconut oil, because I think it's a healthy frying oil. And I love the short ingredient list.

Ingredients:

• potatoes
• coconut oil
• salt
• optional additional seasoning

Directions:

1. Peel the potatoes.
2. Use a mandoline, if possible, to thinly slice the potatoes (2 mm or thinner). A knife or potato peeler may also work, but the slices might not be as uniform. 
3. Rinse the potato slices and pat dry with paper towels. This removes much of the starch.
4. Heat oil in a pan up to about 325 degrees F. Try to keep oil between 325 and 340 degrees F during frying. 
5. Drop a few potato slices in the oil at a time for a few minutes each time--until they brown. It may take a couple of times to get the hang of how long it takes to get them as brown as you want them. 
6. Pull potato slices out of oil and set on paper towels to drain.
7. Sprinkle salt and other seasonings on potatoes immediately. Sea salt by itself is amazing. I also added Penzey's Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Mix to make ranch-flavored potato chips. 
8. Let potato chips dry until cool and crisp. Yum!
