Ingredients

30 mins
1 serving
  1. 2-3Maris Piper (or russet) potatoes
  2. Vegetable or groundnut oil for deep frying

Cooking Instructions

30 mins
  1. 1

    Peel your potatoes and cut into nice thick chips. Heat your oil to 130°C/265°F. I find it easier to cut chips if I cut them into a rough block shape first. It saves on peeling, makes it easier to hold, and gives a better looking chip.

  2. 2

    Make sure your chips are as evenly thick as possible to ensure a balanced cooking

  3. 3
  4. 4

    Deep fry for 2-3 minutes then remove from the oil

  5. 5

    Allow to cool for about 20 minutes. Heat your oil to 180°C/355°F, and cook until they float and take on a nice golden colour

  6. 6

    Drain excess oil on kitchen paper. Serve with lashings of salt and malt vinegar

I'm a designer/artist and I learned to cook when I started making my own Chinese food over 30 years ago. I'm a lover of my native British food, but recently I've developed a taste for American comfort food, especially sandwiches and BBQ (watching too much 'Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives' probably). 😸 Unfortunately, we don't have any independent US-style diners or drive-ins in my neck of the woods, so I had to learn from recipe books and the Food Network. I'll also be publishing some traditional UK classics in case any non-Brits want to have a crack at Brit grub.
