Real Potato Chips (contributed by Dorothy Carver)

Rick, your old stove pictures stirred up a couple for me.

Of course the stove was in the house for my memories. The first one was that it was our ways and means of doing our ironing. We had the irons on the stove to heat up and a clamp style handle that would attach to each iron. We had 3 or 4 irons and as they would cool off we would trade out for a hot one and let the used one reheat. Don't like ironing today either.

The good memory of the stove was coming home from school and being hungry. We'd (meaning a few siblings)take a few potatoes peel them and thick slice them and put them right on the hot top of the lids(or burners) of the stove and when the potato was a little crispy we'd turn them over like a pancake cook the other side----then take the slices off add a little salt and enjoy a hot potato snack. Good thing we grew our own potatoes. thinking about this I may have to get out mom's old iron skillet and try this again just to remember the taste or see if it is the same in an iron skillet.
