Homemade potato chips.
Use the crinkle cutter blade to cut potatoes (white, sweet, or both). Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, seasonings. Spread out on bar pan and/or metal sheet pans in a single layer. Bake at 450 until desired level of crispiness.
The Mandoline makes quick work of the potatoes and slices them evenly, which helps them cook evenly.
Hope that helps!

Great idea on the homemade potato chips. Something fun to do with the kids! I know the recipe says to 'bake until desired level of crispness,' but I'm wondering, approximately, how long that would take. Or, perhaps the better question is, what is the approximate minimum time? It would be cool to tell guests (or your kids!!), "You can have fresh potato chips in xx minutes."
