I've made them. Used to make them a lot when I couldn't buy bought ones that weren't flavoured or salted. I detest salty crisps.
Story: I made a huge bowl of them for the family. If anybody wanted salt on them they could take some and put salt on their's only. They take absolutely ages to do. No mandolin in those days so, potato peeler, dried on kitchen towel, deep fried a few at a time 'cos otherwise they stick together.
Hubby (now ex) comes in, sees huge bowl, pours tons of salt all over the whole lot! If I'd wanted salty crisps I'd have bought the bloody things. Grrrrr!
