食材

4 large floury potatoes, all roughly the same size, peeled

vegetable or sunflower oil

sea salt flakes

步驟

1 Peel and trim the potatoes on all sides to get blocks. Cut each block into slices about 1cm thick, then cut the slices again to get chips. Place them in cold water for 5 mins.

2 Fill a large saucepan one-third full with the oil. Heat the oil to 190C or until a cube of bread browns in 30 secs. Working in batches, fry about a handful of potatoes at a time, using a slotted metal spoon to carefully lower them into the hot oil. Fry for 4 mins. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all of the potatoes have been fried.

3 Just before serving, skim any debris off the top of the cooking oil and reheat to the same temperature. Fry as before, in batches, but only cook until crisp and golden, about 2 mins. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all of the potatoes have been fried. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and serve.
