"Using a mandoline, we cut the potatoes into slices using the second smallest gap on the blade so that the potatoes were only about an 1/8th inch thick at the most. I also mixed up the smoked paprika with a ratio of 2 and 2/3 tablespoons of smoked paprika and about 1 teaspoon of spicy smoked paprika to try and give it a little heat. Also instead "

"This was good stuff. We doubled the recipe, which may have been a mistake. For a family of four, I have more leftovers than I can handle.

We give this five stars. "
