These are a delicious occasional treat. I did have some seasoning left over( it keeps well stored in a jar or plastic container), which I eventually dumped into a pot of navy beans and they were excellent!

These sound great! I wonder if I have the patience to slice them as thinly as they ought to be though...

Mandolin slicers are great for creating uniform, ultra-thin slices without losing fingers. They are a great kitchen gadget to have.

I did not have a mandolin slicer (which would have been wonderful), but it wasn't so bad.
Definitely worth the effort.
Tom, I forgot to mention that you can make a serving for one by using one large potato and a tablespoon or two paprika and sugar along with half a teaspoon of the other ingredients.

I was toying with the idea of sprinkling it on top a baked potato, or adding to flour and making a sort of spicy chicken fried tofu or even faux chicken strips.
