One russet potato makes 40 potato chips on the mandolin, each 1/8 inch thick, 3 millimeters, the perfect thickness for crispy, crunchy chips. Takes less than five minutes, in a cast iron skillet, no odor.

Oxo mandolins are $46 on amazon. I have had mine for 15 years. I cut mostly by hand, but 1/8 inch thick is tedious.

We use canola oil, drop one chip in the oil when we pour the oil in, add the rest of the chips when the test chip starts baking. The oil is refiltered through a paper towel and reused.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
