How do you slice the potatoes thin enough at home for making a potato chip? Can't be a knife. A meat slicer would do, but who has one at home?

You can use a mandolin to slice them nice and thin. One thing I was thinking that would work is an adjustable cheese slicer. I used to have one, my current cheese slicer is not an adjustable one though I do have a mandolin. I just don't use it as often as I could use it.

I find that my Cuisinart Food Processor does a great job in slicing the potatoes thin enough for making homemade potato chips. The one downside to using it is that the potatoes have to be the right size to fit in the food processor tube. This usually means making a smaller size potato chip than what you typically find in good commercial potato chips.

If you want to make some different homemade potato chips buy some of the more exotic potatoes (Yukon Gold, Purple Ones, etc). The difference in color will add a nice touch to your homemade potato chips.

I make my own potato chips (deep fried) and then I started making them in the oven....But I slice mine THIN, grease my baking sheet and season any way I want them. 375* F. I like to slice with my "crimper" and make wavy chips when I bake them.

I also make "buttons" which I slice 1/4-inch thick and bake; sprinkle with grated cheese (if desired) at the last minute of baking. Once again, greased tin, but at 350* F. Sprinkle with any seasoning you desire.
