Homemade crispy chips

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Side Dishes
The perfect chip is crunchy on the outside and creamy inside, like mash. This texture cannot be rushed: the potato must rid itself of excess starch and moisture. The pros' secret is often double frying: first softening at a lower temperature, then frying to a crisp in hot oil.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Large deep frying pan or fryer
  • Kitchen thermometer (optional)
  • Kitchen paper
  • Slotted spoon

Instructions

1 ✓

Peel the potatoes and cut into uniform batons, approx 1x1 cm. Soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes.

Tip: Soaking washes off surface starch which would otherwise burn and make the chips soft. (Starch removal)
2 ✓

Drain the water and dry the batons completely with a tea towel.

Tip: Water is the enemy of oil: it causes spitting and cools the oil.
3 ✓

Heat the oil to approx. 160°C. Fry the chips in small batches for approx. 4-5 minutes until soft but still pale. Remove and drain.

Tip: This pre-cooking (blanching in oil) softens the inside without burning the outside.
4 ✓

Before serving, heat oil to 190°C and fry chips until golden brown and crispy (approx. 2-3 mins).

Tip: The high heat suddenly evaporates remaining surface water, forming a crispy crust. (Dehydration and Maillard)
5 ✓

Remove to kitchen paper and salt immediately.

Tip: Salt sticks better to a hot oily surface.

Recipe FAQ

Why did they turn soft and oily?
The oil temperature was too low, or you put too many in at once. The oil must shock the surface to form a crust.
Burnt, but raw inside.
The oil was too hot, or you cut them too thick. Try double frying!
Which potatoes should I choose?
High starch, floury potatoes (e.g. Maris Piper, King Edward) are best for frying.

Ingredients

  • 1000 g Floury potatoes (e.g. Maris Piper)
  • 1 l Sunflower oil (for frying)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 pinch Chip spice or paprika (optional)
