Saratoga Potatoes

1. 1

   Slice the potatoes 1/8-inch thick (or thinner); use a mandoline if you have one.

2. 2

   Soak the potato slices in cold water until ready to fry, then drain and dry them thoroughly on a towel.

3. 3

   Fill a large saute pan with 1/2 inch olive oil.

4. 4

   Place over medium-high heat; the oil is ready when it browns a breadcrumb in 30 seconds.

5. 5

   Drop a few potato slices at a time into the oil and fry until the edges begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes, then turn the slices and brown the other side, 1 to 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Drain on a baking sheet lined with paper towels.

7. 7

   Keep warm in a 175-degree oven while you fry the rest of the potatoes.

8. 8

   Just before serving, pile the potatoes into a bowl and season with salt, tossing to disperse the seasoning.
