Use a mandolin slicer to very carefully slice the potatoes into uniform rounds; a mandolin is essential for this task, as an even thickness on the potato rounds is necessary to achieve an even fry and crisp on the chips. Cooking these potato chips at a lower temperature gives them a gentle golden hue and a very delicate flavor. While these chips taste great all on their own, fried herbs add a touch of unexpected elegance to this savory snack. We use rosemary and sage to add a special element to this dish, but feel free to substitute other herbs, such as basil.
