Have you ever made your own

Well, I used to slice potatoes into thin slices and fry them instead of doing something like mashed potatoes or french fries with dinner. The thinner ones would come out crispy like potato chips, so I started doing them like they. They were good. I would sprinkle them all with Tony Chachere's cajun seasoning, so they were just a little spicy. I haven't made them in a while, but now that I have a new Fry Daddy, I just might have to try making them again.

We used to make home fries. Basically to make home fries, you peel your potato, slice into small sections and boil it until almost done. Then cool potato in cold water. Dab off the water. Then pan fry the potato slices or pieces in hot oil on the stove top. It's a really easy thing to do. But the oil is likely to spark or splatter as the potato has bits of water on it. It tastes crispy when done and looks beige or slightly brownish. Very yummy! Now I'm hungry for some.

No I haven't made my own. I take the simple way out. I buy mine from the grocery store. Making my own may be healthier though.

I've never made my own potato chips but I bet they would be good =) I used to do thick steak cut type fries out of fresh potatoes in my deep fryer and then I would make poutine - I'd drain and season the fries, make onion gravy and cover the fries with onion gravy and shredded cheese. If I do try making chips, I won't make them plain. I'll season them up good with garlic, pepper, Tony's seasoning, and some parmesan. Then I'll probably mix up some fiesta spicy ranch dip to serve them with. My daughter made fresh cinnamon sugar tortilla chips before - she fried up pieces of flour tortilla in oil and then shook the chips in cinnamon sugar in a brown paper bag. They were really good!

I did make some potato chips the other day in fact. I made a yummy veggie burger at home a little while ago and thought I would do some chips to go with it. It turned out really well.
