Beat margarine and sugar until fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla and keep beating. Add and mix in the flour, crushed potato chips and pecans.
Roll into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet 3 inches apart. Flatten with a glass dipped in sugar.
Bake for 12 - 15 minutes. (The cookies freeze beautifully.)
