{{RecipeIngredients
| 1.1 kg large [[Potatoes|potatoes]] - approx. (eg. King Edward, Maris Piper, Rooster or Sante) peeled and cut into thick [[Chips|chips]]
| [[Salt]]
| [[Sunflower]] or [[Peanut oil|peanut oil]] - follow your fryer's manufacturer's instructions as to quantity.

}}

===[[Mise en place]]===
* Soak the [[Chips|chips]] in a pan of cold water for 45 minutes to remove excess [[Starch|starch]].
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Drain the soaked [[Chips|chips]] and bring to the [[Boil|boil]], with the [[Salt|salt]], in a pan of fresh cold water and cook for about 5-6 minutes.
| Immediately, remove from heat, drain, return to the pan and rinse off in cold water. This may need to be done more than once.
| Drain again and dry the [[Chips|chips]] individually with [[Kitchen towel|kitchen towel]].
| In a [[Roasting|roasting]] tin lined with [[Bake-O-Glide|bake-o-glide]] or [[Greaseproof paper|greaseproof paper]], position the [[Chips|chips]] so that they are in rows and not touching each other. You will probably need to use more than one tin, or use the tin's [[Roasting|roasting]] rack upon which you can make a second layer.
| Put in the [[Freezer|freezer]] for at least 30 minutes.
| Meanwhile, heat the [[Oil|oil]] to 130 C and remove the [[Chips|chips]] from the [[Freezer|freezer]].
| Pat them dry again and [[Deep-fry|deep-fry]] in small batches until they look as if they are starting to change colour. This could take 4 minutes or more.
| Drain on [[Kitchen towel|kitchen towel]] and when they are all cooked, return the to the [[Roasting|roasting]] tin and [[Freeze|freeze]] again for a further 30 minutes, or overnight if desired.
| About 20 minutes before you are ready to serve, reheat the [[Oil|oil]] to 190 C and cook the [[Chips|chips]] in batches again until golden (about 2 minutes or more).
| Drain and serve.

===Alternative method stages 1-3===
# Drain the soaked [[Chips|chips]] and bring a pan of cold, unsalted water to the [[Boil|boil]], then add the [[chips]].
# Reduce the heat and allow to simmer until almost cooked.
# Immediately, remove from heat, drain, and place them on a [[cake rack]] to cool, then follow from stage 4 above.
#Instead of boiling the [[Chips|chips]], you can place them in a microwave in a covered container with 110ml water and cook for 6 minutes. This is for large [[Chips|chips]] using a 900 watt microwave.
===Serving suggestions===
Well, [[Chips|chips]] can go with most dishes, but can also be served with [[Garlic mayonnaise|garlic mayonnaise]], dips or [[Sauces|sauces]] as a snack. You could sprinkle some [[Grated|grated]] melty [[Cheese|cheese]] over them, such as [[Emmental]], [[Queso Tetilla|Tetilla]], [[Mozzarella]] or [[Cheddar]].
===Variations===
They can be made as thick or thin as you wish, but you will have to adjust the [[Cooking times|cooking times]] accordingly.
===Chef's notes===
If you do not have a deep-[[Fat|fat]] fryer, then a large saucepan will be fine, but DO be careful not to fill it more than a third full with the [[Oil|oil]]. You will also need a [[thermometer]] to check the temperatures.
