How do you cut them that thin easily? Can you make them in the oven rather
than in a french frier?

You can, but they will not be nearly as tasty or crisp.

Use a mandoline, makes many fast, watch your fingers.

You can easily cut them with a mandolin. You get nice even cuts and
fast. If you are going to do them in the oven, they will come out much
better if you brush or shake them with some oil. I'd done them in a
large fry pan with some oil.

I agree with that. Although you can make good french fries at home.
With the right potatoes and cut them just right... without a deep fryer,
fried in a cast iron skillet.

I know this because I first cooked fries this way when I was about 17.
I'd been up watching old movies on a small TV my parents gave me for my
bedroom. It was likely film noir. The people in the movie cooked
french fries in a skillet and I got hungry for french fries.

My mother woke up, wondered what I was doing in the kitchen. I'm making
french fries. (Russet potatoes, cut with a knife into fries.) They
turned out very well for a 17 year old first try.

Drain on paper
towels, sprinkle with salt.

I made them many years ago and in the oven. They were thicker than the
bagged chips that you can buy. I just used a knife and cut them as thinly as
I could. At the time, a restaurant in Seattle was selling such chips as an
expensive appetizer. Although mine did come out as good as theirs did, I am
not much of a potato chip lover. I didn't personally care for these but my
friends did. This would have been back in the late 70's so it is likely that
I used Wesson oil to brush them with. At that period of time, I used Wesson
for everything.

If you want thinner chips, you'd have to use a mandolin.

Sorry, but I didn't have access to marijuna when I was 17. 16, yes. LOL
No, I'd just been watching an old movie on TV. There were no potato
chips in the house so I decided to make some.

Okay, that's an interesting tale. One thing I never had to deal with
was rancid oil.

Another suggestion might be the slicing blade on a food processor. I
don't use mine very often so I don't know if it would slice the potatoes
thin enough for what Ken calls potato chips.

Correction:

I made French Fries. Not potato chips. In a skillet on the stovetop.
With fresh hand cut (by myself, yes age 17) russet potates. At 2AM.
Sorry, Steve, no pot involved. I was awake wattching an old movie and
the fries made me hungry. So I cooked some fried potatoes. Sprinkled
with salt. They were tasty! And yes, my mother came into the kitchen
wondering what I was doing. She and I shared those fries. That was a
long, long time ago. A very fond memory.

I'm not sure - they came out pretty thin so I suppose it was 1 mm

Â* I save the oil I fry okra in to ... fry more okra . Especially good

I occasionally do thick cut potato slices.

Not quite fries, though fried, and too thick
to be called chips. But I LOVE them, because
I love potatoes.

You can slice them thin if you have a lot of practice with a knife. I'm betting you could cook them in an oven but I wouldn't. Your best bet is to just do it instead of reading about doing it.

I don't use enough oil (aka deep frying) to have to store it. Bacon
grease, NEVER. My apologies to those who like to cook with it.

I seem to recall melting some Crisco to make the fries in the Revere
Ware stainless steel skillet. And yes, it was 2AM. When I was 17.
After watching a movie on a small B&W TV in my bedroom. No, I wasn't
smoking pot. I got hungry.

Russet potatoes make really nice french fries. Even at that age I knew
all you needed was potatoes, a sharp knife and a cutting board.

It's a nice memory because Mom heard me, came into the kitchen asked
what the heck I was doing. I'm making french fries! She was
astonished. We sat down at the kitchen table and ate my first ever home
cooked french fries. And, BTW, they were delicious.

When I was 14 I regularly used to make chips (fries) in a pan on the gas
stove. The pan had lard in it.

My husband makes the 'special Daddy Fries' now and again. Preferred is
russets but he'll use whatever I have. Most of the time the deep fryer
after coating in egg and a flour mix with some minimal spicing.

I make home fries too and the difference is mainly mine are thicker cut
wedges.

Potatoes are so wonderful. You can do so many things with them and cook
them many different ways. Sliced thick or thin. Frenched, quartered,
cubed. Baked, fried, fanned...

Potatoes are a staple in my house. But I don't "make" potato chips.

Me neither, there are always potato chips BOGO. Lately I'm seeing
potato chips buy one get three free... I need to use restraint not to
indulgse... potato chips have to be the most valuless 'food'. But I
like potato chips, still I buy them only 3-4 times a year.

I usually keep a can or two and some instant ones. I particularly like
adding the flakes to biscuits to make them lighter and fluffier. But I only
buy fresh ones if I see a really good sale or if I am making a specific
recipe. If on sale, then I will go out of my way to find things to use them
for. I don't know why but potatoes and onions just don't seem to keep like
they used to. For that reason, I try not to keep a lot because I don't like
having to toss out spoiled ones.

I seem to buy a lot of them but I rarely eat them myself. I'm not even
actually sure who is eating them because we have so many kids in and out of
here.

I've seen wedges of russet potatoes in the mid-south (quarter fries)
battered and deep fried. A rare treat, and I sure wouldn't make them at
home.

Up north where my parents grew up, they were called quarter fries but
they were roasted in the oven. Rubbed with oil, seasoned with salt (
pepper and roasted in a very hot oven.

Hey, you just never know. Shop in the canned food aisle. You might get
4 free! Of course you have to want to buy a lot of canned food. <snicker>

You add potato chips to a hamburger on bun? That's weird.
Never heard of that one.

I occasionally eat chips on the side but never on a sandwich.

This week the market in town has canned Coke in twelve packs, buy two
get three free... I'll be going shortly to buy Coke and pick up a few
items. Last week Wise potato chips were B1G3, but I didn't buy them
because Wise are my favorite Chitata Pips and I'd eat them all non
stop. For now I'm snacking on Twizzlers, black... Amazon has the best
deal plus black is hard to find:

I like chips on tuna salad sandwich or sloppy joes. However, I
rarely have them on hand at the right time, so I do without.

French fries are your chips, although there's good deal of variation in
the thickness of the pieces. Anything from skinny little McDonald's fries
to enormous wedges can be called French fries.

The definition of home fries probably varies. To me, it's sliced potatoes
(either fresh or cooked) pan-fried in butter, vegetable oil, or bacon fat,
until a little brown crispiness is attained.

<http://riceandbread.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/IMG_8663.jpg>

I ran across a bunch of pictures where the potatoes were cubed or
cut into some sort of wedge. Perfectly all right, but I find slicing
is easier.

Preferably with a little onion.

Yep! Nice crisp (like Lays) potato chips right on top of the burger.

I don't add much of anything to a good home ground burger, cooked medium
rare, other than cheese. Oh, and the bun should be lightly toasted,
too. I'll eat a few chips on the side. But why not put them on the burger?
