Potato chips

I made these potato chips because three things happened at the same time:
  1. I had the mandoline out
  2. I had potatoes on the counter
  3. I had a cast iron pot sitting on the stove with oil in it from a previous frying project
  4. I was bored
OK, so maybe it was four things.  Plus I wanted a snack.

There wasn't much to this process.  I sliced the potatoes as thinly as I could and soaked them in water until I was finished with the batch.  I then dropped a few at a time in to the pan with oil which was over medium heat.  I fried them until they looked crispy and then fished them out, placing them on a paper towel to drain.  I sprinkled them with salt and then gobbled them up while they were still warm.
