Ingredients
Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩🍳 method for this recipe
- 675 g (1.5 lb) boiling potatoes: (Idaho, Estima, Harmony, Osprey)
- 2 cups of peanut oil at room temperature
- sea salt, ground to a fine powder
Mandatory!
Method
- Wash the potatoes, peel and cut into long, thin chips, 7.5 mm (3/8") square
- Rinse under running cold water and dry well using a tea-towel - (wet/moist chips absorb more oil)
- Place the chips in a 25 cm (10") pan that has sides at least 10 cm (4.5") high
- Place the pan on your most powerful hob at it's highest heat, thermometer at the ready.
- Add the oil
- When the oil goes over 100° C (225° F) it will start bubbling gently. When it has reached 180° C (350° F) it will be boiling furiously and the potatoes will be golden brown and ready for consumption.
- Ensure that the temperature does not exceed 190° C (375° F) or you will spoil the chips.
- Remove with a dry slotted spoon and blot any surplus oil with paper towels.
- Serve immediately, don't delay. Sprinkle with powdered sea salt and serve with strong dijon mustard.
