PERFECT HOT CHIPS

Steps:

• Cut potatoes lengthways into 1cm-wide strips. Set aside in a bowl of iced water until ready to cook. Drain and dry thoroughly.
• Heat oil in saucepan to 160°C, or test by dipping a chip into oil - if bubbles appear instantly, oil is hot enough. Using a wire basket, perforated spoon or wire skimmer, lower chips in batches into oil and cook for 8 minutes, until tender but not brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towel.
• Reheat oil to 185°C . Gently lower chips into oil briefly, until crisp and brown. Drain on paper towel, sprinkle with salt and serve immediately with your choice of condiments.

THE BEST TWICE-COOKED CHIPS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Cut the potatoes into about 1/2-inch (1-cm) slices, then slice these into 1/2-inch (1-cm) wide chips.
• Place the chips in a colander and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear.
• Place the washed chips in a pan of cold water, bring to a gentle boil, and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander.
• Drain the potatoes thoroughly and then pat dry with paper towels. Remove as much moisture off of the potatoes to avoid splatter when putting them in the oil.
• Add about 2 to 3 inches of oil to a heavy pot or Dutch oven and attach a deep-fry thermometer. Heat the oil to 320 F/160 C. Carefully lower some chips-about 2 handfuls-into the hot oil using a slotted metal utensil or deep-fry basket. Fry for about 3 minutes. Do not brown them. Let the oil come back to temperature between batches.
• Turn the chips out onto paper towels to drain. Keep them at room temperature until needed.
• Reheat the oil to 375 F/190 C and fry the chips once more until golden and crisp, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Drain and season with salt. Serve immediately and enjoy.

CHUNKY OVEN CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to its highest setting, ideally 250C/fan 230C/gas 9. Cut each potato into 1cm-wide slices, then into 1cm-thick sticks. Blanch in a large pan of boiling water for 3 mins, then drain well.
• Shake the potatoes out onto a roasting pan, drizzle with oil, ensuring each chip is evenly coated, then season well. Bake for about 15-20 mins, turning the potatoes at least twice, until golden brown and crisp.
