Steps:
- Cut potatoes, peeled or not, into large chunks no more than two inches across. Salt a pot of boiling water and cook potatoes until just done. (A sharp knife should easily glide in, but potato should not slide off knife immediately.) Drain. This step can be completed in the cool of the morning; cover potatoes and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat half an inch of olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet. When hot, add potatoes and garlic cloves and fry, nudging now and again, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Shower with salt and, if desired, chopped herbs and black pepper. Serve immediately.

SARATOGA CHIPS
This is supposedly the way that potato chips were first made, by George Crum in Saratoga New York, around 1850. With all the types and variety of chips available today, they certainly have "come a long way baby, to get where they got to today"! nt
