My children love salt and vinegar chips, and I had some potatoes to use, so I thought this would be a nice treat for them. I took my French fry recipe and converted it slightly, though the soaking in vinegar idea was my mom's! I hope your family likes them as much as mine did! These are excellent for a cookout; make them a day ahead and surprise everybody!
Ingredients
- 4 potatoes , thinly sliced
- cold water to cover

Spread potatoes slices onto paper towel; pat dry with more paper towels.
