Homemade potato chips are fun and easy. Guaranteed they won't last long! A food processor with a slicing attachment is very helpful for slicing the potatoes. Experiment with the thickness; you may like them thicker or thinner. I like to use olive oil for frying, but you can use safflower, corn, or peanut oil as well as vegetable oil.

I think this meatloaf recipe is close to my grandmother's meatloaf in flavor and texture. "Nanaw" Rowan made the most delicious meatloaf in the state. When she passed away, she didn't leave me her recipe, but she left me the desire to recreate it, and I think this is it! Don't let the number of ingredients discourage you — it's part of the magic of creating a masterpiece.
