I simmered the slices in vinegar laced water for 5 minutes, drained them, and dried them for 20 minutes or so before frying. The chips fried quickly, were excellent, and no splattering oil at all! Potato Chips.

So, it must be true! :) Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

Upon adding the potatoes to the oil, the temperature drops precipitously, then comes back up, but you should limit how far back up it comes. As they finish, potato chips are not very massive and contain little residual water, so the oil temperature could easily go way over 400 degrees, even on my antique stove. This is not so much a problem with the French Fries, as they also go in at 400 Degrees, but are done by time the oil gets back to 360 or so because they are much more massive and contain a lot more water.

I'm trying to figure out what the proportion of "friendliness" to "menace" is in that post.
