Instructions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and slice as thinly as possible. Rinse in a couple of changes of water to remove some of the starch and dry thoroughly on kitchen paper.Step 2
Meanwhile heat your deep fat fryer to 180°C. If shallow frying, you can test that the oil has reached the correct temperature by dropping in a small cube of bread which should sizzle immediately and start to brown in roughly 20 seconds.Step 3
Fry the potato slices in small batches until crisp and golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and leave to drain on fresh kitchen paper.Step 4
If necessary, the chips will keep fairly well in a medium oven spread on a baking tray. Don’t leave too long however as they will lose their crispness and can burn.Step 5
Season generously with sea salt and pepper.Step 6
Enjoy with gusto.
