D-I-Y Potato Chips

Since I learned how to make potato chips, the Little Girl would always request that I serve this for merienda at least twice a month.  

The secret to making the chips crispy is to slice the potatoes thinly.  You can use a knife, but it is best to use a mandoline to ensure the slices are very thin.

If you would like to make your own chips all you need are two large potatoes, this will be good for 4 to 5 persons. Slice the potatoes thinly with either a knife or mandoline. In batches deep-fry the chips until they  turn that beautiful golden color.  Drain on paper towels.  Then season with salt.  For our chips I add some pepper and a little sugar.
