OVEN FRIED POTATO CHIPS
Source: Gourment 1985

This simple oven-fried potatoes recipe came from a 1985 issue. It has been so much part of our family I thought dad had invented it. These crispy thin potato slices are just divine. I call them dad's potato chips because they taste like the best potato chips you will ever have. But I suspect that one might not classify them as a chip given their 1/8 inch thickness. In any case, they are really really good, and like anything really really good probably shouldn't be eaten more than once or twice a month.

4 russet (baking) potatoes, peeled and sliced diagonally 1/8 inch thick
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) of butter, melted
coarse salt to taste

Pat the potatoes dry between paper towels and arrange them in one layer in 2 buttered cookie sheets pans.

Brush the potatoes with the butter, bake them in a preheated 500F oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Sprinkle them with the salt.
