Step 7: Make the Glass Potato Chips
To make the Glass Potato Chips, pour vegetable oil into a wok or deep saute pan. I wouldn't recommend using a fryer unless it has a really low temperature setting because the chips will most likely burn. I did a couple of test runs and when the oil was to hot they lost their "glass" texture and they resembled a fried pork rind.
Make sure the heat is on low/medium low. I recommend starting with the heat on medium low and then lowering the heat to low. Use a pair of tongs and dip one or two chips at a time into the oil. The chips are really delicate, but will stand up to being handled with the tongs. Just be gentle. Turn them a couple of times. You will notice immediately the glass texture once they hit the oil. Be attentive and watch the chips. Once they turn a light golden amber they are ready.
Place them on a paper towel and sprinkle with salt.

As for the pork rind flavored chip, probably bacon would be tastier. The beauty of these things is that you can add flavor easily (aside from the presentation wow factor).
