Ingredients
- 4-5 Medium Floury Potatoes 600g
- Malt Vinegar to taste
- Salt to taste
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and then cut them into 1cm (½") thick chips. Don't worry about the roundness, keep aiming for a 1cm profile (just under ½"), the smaller chips go crispy, which are my favourite.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water for 15 minutes, changing the water once during this time. Then remove the chips and dry them thoroughly.
- Preheat the oil in a deep fat fryer to 140°C or 285°F. Add your chips to the oil, and cook your chips until they are soft to the tip of the knife, which will take around 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the basket from the oil and turn the heat up to 190°C or 375°F and as soon as the oil has come to temperature drip the chips back into the fryer and cook for 2 minutes.
- Serve hot with loads of salt and vinegar!
