Very thin and crispy - have to be deep fried from real potatoes and served piping hot with plenty of salt and cracked black pepper - no vinegar for me....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

Perfect chips, they're a faff to make but worth it once in a while.
Estima Potatos are the best, other wise Maris Pipers or King Edwards.
The chips should be about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch thick.
Once they have been cut stick them in a bowl of water for half an hour.
While the chips are soaking heat the oil to around 150 degrees. Drain the chips and dry them with a tea towl then put them into the oil and cook untill they start to colour, don't let them go brown at this stage. If the oil is the right temp. you should get a nice gentle "boil" when the chips go in, not a frantic spitting and loads of noise.
Once the chips have started to colour take them out of the oil and leave them to cool. Spread them out on a baking sheet or similar to stop them sticking together.
Once they have cooled turn up the heat on the oil to 190 degrees, or whatever your fryer will go to and put the chips back in. Keep an eye on them as they will only take around 5 mins to cook to a nice golden brown.
Remove and drain, serve with your favorite additions. They will be crispy and light on the outside, fluffy on the inside and taste delicious. Guarenteed."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

A problem with chips IMO is the high water content, which means they take ages to cook. Has anyone tried microwaving them to get them up to temperature before frying?Comment
