Sue Durnim Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Chips! I thought I would share my recipe for chips. (This might be obvious to a few?) 1. I use king Edwards or Moris Piper potatoes. 2. I then cut them into approx 60mm x 10mm chunks. 3. Boil in water for 7mins. 4. Place in a bowl for approx one hour or slightly dry/moist (or dry off with paper or kitchen towel) 5. Put into hot veg? oil or preferably lard. 6. Cook until golden colour. 7. Dry off excess oil. 8. Add salt and vinegar or anything else you prefer. 9. Then eat and enjoy. If any body else has a way of cooking chips, I would like to read and try your recipe.

Dizzy Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Beer battered oven chips from Asda are quite nice Yours sounds yummy and more like real chips without all the additives so will definately give them a go ... do you cook them in the oven or a deep fat fryer? Where do you buy your spuds though as the shops round here only sell MARIS piper ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Durnim Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Hello Dizzy. I suppose any pototoes will do, I buy mine from ASDA/TESCO or better still from the Market or Farmers Markets. I have gone off ready made chips, everytime I buy a bag there are always bad/black chips inside and throw them away, such a waste of money. I fry my chips in a good ol' fashioned chip pan, although you are right about the additives, I suppose the lard will not help your health too much but every now again surely will not do any harm? At least you know what you are eating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I then cut them into approx 60mm x 10mm chunks. 2 inch chips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 A good tasty tip I have used is to part boil the chips first in water to soften them only slightly as in Sue's post up to step 4. Then put them in the fryer as normal and give them a bit of a scrape about with a fork. This puts a nicy flaky/crispy finish to them. Also a great method for roasted spuds.

Sue Durnim Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Good tip Wingnut, giving the chip a crispy flakey texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 a nice big fat soggy chip, dripping in lard, with a ton of salt on and a bit of newspaper ink to taste - bring on that heart attack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Lt K will probably make them for you Must admit chips always tasted nicer years ago wrapped in newspaper with lashings of salt and vinegar. They seem to go soggy these days in the man made polystyrene cartons and plain wrappings. Wonder if that's down to the modern day wrapping or the 'heathier' fat they are cooked in. Spam fritters seem a lot greasier too I'm hungry now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Nice chips but I don't like to eat after boiling.If we don't want to boil then it can't fry easily or without taste chips....! I want to eat chips with hot sauce and garlic cream sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
