INGREDIENTS

3 md Russet potatoes, uniform in ize
Vegetable oil for deep fryin
Coarse salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Peel and trim potatoes to an even oval shape.  Using a
mandoline, cut the potatoes lengthwise, on the narrow
side, into long, narrow, even oval slices, slightly
less than 1/8-inch thick.  Pat dry on paper towels.
Half fill 2 large saucepans with oil.  Heat the first
to 350f on a deep fat thermometer.  Heat the second
pan of oil to 400f.
Drop several potato slices into the first pan.  Remove
from heat and shake to keep potatoes from sticking
together.  When the oil temperature drops to 300f,
remove the potatoes with a skimmer and plunge them
into the second pan. (The potatoes will puff and bob
around on top of the oil.) Turn the puffs constantly
until well browned on all sides. Transfer the potatoes
to paper towels to drain.
Bring both pans of oil back to specified temperatures,
then repeat until all potatoes are cooked.
Sprinkle with salt and keep warm until ready to serve.

NOTE:     Be VERRRRY careful as there is a
considerable tendency to spatter oil, doing this.
BURNS to the cook or kitchen FIRES are a very REAL
DANGER in this recipe.
