California Farm New Harvest Puffed Potatoes

We grow heirloom Idaho potatoes, also called Russet Potatoes, The type is called German Butterball. We make french fries and potato chips. Our Russets can be eaten as of June, but continue to grow oblong to french fry length by September. If you slice any smaller potato 1/4” thick, coat with corn starch and fry the same way you fry french fries, you get delicious potato chip size puffed potatoes as shown in here. Like potato chips with a hot french fry filling. Sprinkled with flaked seasalt, sweet dried red paprika spice or Sabatini truffle zest.
