Purple Potato Chips

Ingredients

• 500 g waxy blue potatoes (e.g., "Vitelotte")
• 1 l deep-frying oil
• Salt

Instructions

1. 1.

   Wash and dry the purple potatoes thoroughly. Slice them thinly with a mandoline, spread the slices side by side on kitchen paper, pat off excess starch with another piece of kitchen paper, and lightly season with salt.

2. 2.

   Heat the frying fat in a pot (it is hot enough when bubbles rise from the handle of a cooking spoon). Fry the potato slices in batches for 2–3 minutes each, drain them on kitchen paper, let them cool, then serve in small bowls.
