THE POTATO QUESTION (3)

The humble potato makes the best chips.....use a floury potato such as a Desiree or Dutch Cream . Peel and slice 4 large potatoes into even sized chips . Preheat vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 180 deg C with enough oil to fill 1/4 of the fryer bowl . Fry the chips for about 10 minutes , until they are softened but not coloured . Now remove the chips from the oil , drain on kitchen paper and set aside for 10 minutes . Make sure the oil is still at 180 deg C and return the partially cooked chips to the oil and cook till golden brown and crispy . Drain and season with salt and lemon wedges or a squeezing over the top . You can make a healthy version of the 'best ever chips 'by cutting large potatoes into wedges , brushing them with oil and bake in your air fryer or in a preheated oven 200deg C.
