These are so delicious! Nice and crispy just like (but better) store bought ones!
I peel my potatoes first but you don't have to. Then I slice them thin. I usually do 4 potatoes for my family of 4. Once they are all sliced fill up your bowl of potatoes with cold water and stir them around. Drain off the water then do the same thing again. I keep the potatoes in a strainer and press some more of the water out then I put them on a clean towel to dry a little. This process helps get the starch out so they won't turn out soggy.
Next step is to add a little oil to your frying pan and sprinkle with salt and let it heat up a bit. Once heated I cover the bottom with sliced potatoes and sprinkle a bit more salt. Let them fry a little then flip. I add another sprinkle of salt (my family loves salty chips...and everything else) then I flip them again. If they aren't wiggly any more they are done. I put them on a plate with a towel so it soaks up some of the oil. Repeat the process till they are all cooked!
It takes a little while but it's so worth it and completely waste free!! I buy the salt in bulk (no packaging) and I buy my olive oil in my own jars, and I buy the potatoes in my mesh bags. No Waste!! :-)
