Can you make potato chips at home?
I know I'm crazy! :P
I was thinking about chips the other day and how they're made. They're just like seasoned, salted, dehydrated potato slices, right? So, can I make those at home some way or do the factories do something special? I was thinking it would be so cool to make your own chips and I'd LOVE do to that if anybody knows how...
THANKS ADVICENATORS!

First peel however many potatos you think you'll need for enough potato chips. I'd say each potato is worth a good sized amount for 1 person. If you like skin on the potato, leave it, otherwise peel it off. Put some frying oil in a pot. Put it on medium heat. While the oil is heating up, slice the potatos. For a Lays type chip, slice very thin, for a kettle style chip, thicker. When the oil is heated to fry, place some potato slices in the oil, You can fry them to your liking. I like a light brown chip myself. When they are to your liking, season with any type of season you want. Salt, pepper, basil, etc. Enjoy. I hope that helps.

That one uses a deep dryer, but you could just as easily use an oven.

Of ocurse! If you watch the Food Network, they make it at home all the time!
You just peel, slice with a peeler, place on a baking sheet, and season! Thsi way, it's mroe nutritious and you can control how much salt, etc you're putting.
