Got any tips or tricks for making potato chips? [View all]

The relentless heat finished off my Yukon Golds so I dug up most of them yesterday. I want to make some into garlic mash but I also want to try and make some potato chips. I also have Kennebecs, German Butterballs and Adirondack Blues coming soon.

If you have had good results or have a favorite way to make potato chips, I would love to hear about it.
