THE BEST HOT CHIPS IN THE WORLD! Say's us.........Cut potatoes into chips fat ones. Heat fresh oil in pan, over highest heat, cook till just soft. Remove & set aside, do something else while they sit, like maybe start cooking your fresh fish, if you are lucky enough to catch some! I know you maybe thinking this does not sound good the chips sitting & soaking up all that oil?.... They need to be cooked twice, that way they end up crunchy on the outside & soft like mashed potato inside.......After they have sat (doesn't matter how long for), put them back on highest heat, until they crunch up & turn golden brown. Take out with a strainer or tongs, put in a stainless steel bowl, toss with salt flakes wa-lah...... Beats any shop ones we have ever had!
