Step 1

First, boil as many potatoes as you need for your family in 1 teaspoon of salt to a 5-quart saucepan (skins remain on) we usually cook 6 to 8 potatoes for 25 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes and cool completely. (We usually make them and refrigerate them until needed for the week) The potato needs to be cold so you can slice them.

Step 3

Once the potatoes are cold run under water and remove the skins or leave them if you like them on.

Step 4

Slice the potatoes around 1/4 to 1/2 thick slices.

Step 5

Heat around 1/4 cup of olive oil in a deep cast-iron or chicken fryer-style pan on medium-high heat.

Step 6

Place the potatoes into the pan of hot oil fry them around 10 minutes and lower the heat.

Step 7

Sprinkle with salt, pepper, granulated garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 8

Saute on low heat until golden and crispy almost like golden-colored potato chips, this usually takes around 35 to 45 minutes.

Step 9

Drain them on the paper towel and eat them hot sprinkle with Pecorino Romano cheese on top or optional additions listed above.
