INGREDIENTS:
4 large potatoes fat, to cover salt, to taste



1 Pare raw potatoes and cut lengthwise in strips 1/2 inch thick. Dry thoroughly in a towel. Fry small quantities at a time in hot deep fat, using a spatula to keep pieces from sticking together. When potatoes are golden brown, remove to strainer to drain, then sprinkle with salt.
2 Note: When preparing large quantitites, the small initial lots may be fried lightly and stored in a strainer. Finish larger lots as above, in deep fat. It is practical to use a wire French fryer.
