Potato Flakes or Saratoga Chips. — Wash and peel thinly six large potatoes. Cut them in very thin slices, and put these in plenty of cold water. Let them stand for several hours (over night if possible) on the ice or in a cool place. Pour off the water and drain the potatoes, return to the basin, and cover again with cold water ; add also a large piece of ice. Heat up some frying fat (lard and dripping), strain the potato slices carefully, put about one-third of the quantity in a frying-basket and fry a pale brown colour. Shake the basket several times during the frying process. When done drain thoroughly and turn them on a large dish lined with soft brown paper. Then proceed to fry the remainder of the potatoes in exactly the same manner. To serve, sprinkle over with a little very fine salt
