ROUGH ALL’S WITHOUT RIDGES & CHIP COATINGS
By Gloria Pitzer, as seen in… The Second Helping Of Secret Recipes (National Homemakers Newsletter, Pearl Beach, MI; July 1977, p. 5)
ABOUT ONCE A WEEK for over a year, I worked with the homemade potato chip recipe, using every possible idea I could find in other cookbooks and with those who had worked for potato chip manufacturers… The most successful was the simplest recipe of all…
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups potato buds (Betty Crocker – General Mills works best)
½ cup flour
1 TB salt
6 TB corn oil (not solid shortening)
10 TB cold water
INSTRUCTIONS:
Mix potato buds with flour and salt. Combine oil and water then add it to dry mixture until you can shape it with your hands into a stiff ball of dough. Roll out dough to paper thin between two sheets of waxed paper. Invert onto a lightly greased cookie sheet.
Carefully remove top sheet of waxed paper, allowing dough to bake on the remaining sheet supported by the greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. Cool 5 minutes and remove the waxed paper. Break into pieces. Salt to taste or coat with either of the two recipes below. Makes 2 quarts of chips.
[NOTE: Store in waxed paper bags, not plastic. Plastic bags will lock in the air and cause the chips to become soft.]
