Molly Watson
Rinse the potato slices and then soak them for about half an hour in a large bowl of cold water. You may be tempted to skip this step; don't. Soaking the potato slices removes excess starch and is a key element to ensuring that the potato chips fry up crispy. Continue to 5 of 8 below. 05 of 08
