Potato Crisps

• 1 large potato
• salt
• deep oil for frying

Peel and slice the potato as thinly as possible. This is quickly done on a cucumber slicer or mandoline.

Wash the potato slices under the cold tap as you cut them, to remove the loose starch granules, and keep them all in cold water until you have finished the slicing. Then dry well in a cloth, shaking them as if you were drying a salad. Keep them in the cloth until ready to start fryin
