For an even more crispy, fluffy and tasty treat you can take your chips to a new level of deliciousness by triple-cooking them. They’re well worth the additional time and effort.

Recipe provided by Seasonal Spuds
  • 1kg Maris Piper potatoes, peeled and cut into chunky chips (approx. 2cm diameter)
  • Groundnut or rapeseed oil
  • Sea salt

Put the cut chips into a bowl under running water for 5 minutes to remove excess starch.

Tip them into a pan and cover with cold water then add a good pinch of sea salt. Bring to the boil and simmer for around 15 - 20 minutes, until they’re tender.

Carefully remove the boiled chips and place them on a cooling rack to dry out. Then place the rack in the freezer for at least 1 hour to remove more moisture.

Heat a deep-fat fryer or a deep pan no more than half filled with oil (to a depth of around 10cm) to 130ºC. Fry the chips in small batches until a light crust forms (approximately 5 minutes), remove from the oil and drain on kitchen paper.

Put the chips on a cooling rack and place in the freezer for at least an hour.

Heat the oil in the deep-fat fryer or deep pan to 180ºC and fry the chips until golden brown (approximately 7 minutes). Drain and serve immediately sprinkled with salt.
