Steps:

Peel potatoes and trim so that all surfaces are regular. Cut lengthwise into long, narrow, very even slices about 1/8-inch thick. Dry slices between pieces of paper toweling. Heat enough oil in a deep saucepan to fill pan half full. Heat oil to 350°F (use a deep-fat thermometer). Drop a handful of potato slices, one at a time, into the oil. Remove pan from heat and shake it to keep pieces moving constantly. When temperature reads 250°F, return pan to heat and shake it until slices begin to swell. Do not let the temperature of oil rise above 300? F Puffing will take about 8 minutes. Skim off potatoes and drain on a tray covered with paper toweling. Just before serving, heat the oil to 400°F. Drop the partially cooked slices into the hot oil. They will puff and rise to the surface. Turn constantly until browned. Drain. Sprinkle with salt. Serve hot.
