potatoes

Peel potatoes.  (Dad doesn't do this step)

Wash potatoes.
Slice them 1/4 inch think.
Put potatoes in water and bring to a boil.
Cook until they are sorta soft, about 12 minutes. (You have to check - all stoves and slices are different)
Heat about 1/4 inch vegetable oil in a fry pan or two to 350.
Drain the slices.
Lay flat in hot oil.
Fry on one side then turn, about 10 minutes on a side, probably a bit longer.

I think you can skip the boil if you are willing to fry a little longer.

I wouldn't skip the boil.  (Dad)
