Pretty easy to be honest you can even do it in a saucepan
Get a potatoe and cut off all the corners till its a square ... then chop the square into chip shapes. Put them in the fridge for a few hours then later .... Heat some oil (nut oil is healthy and tasty and burns hot) and deep fry untill brown |

Why cut it into a square? surley that's a waste.
Just peel a potato, cut it into Chips, rinse them, dry them and use the double fry method. That is fry them once on a low heat to cook them through but not really colour them, drain then fry them again on a high heat to colour and crisp them. I don't know what exact temps I use but you can google the twice fried chips method. |

cube it to make perfect oblong chips not curved ones that cook unevenly... leave in fridge to slightly harden the outside

Buy a Tefal Actifry and use it for making big, chunky chips - brilliant machine.
We had a pub for many years and always used the twice fry method for chips - also good at home when you can cook the chips in the morning, put in the fridge then only takes a few minutes when you want them later. |

Two methods using a fryer.
double cooked starting off at a low temp 90/100 deg to cook them through then remove to cool (in frige or freezer if desired) then finish off at high temp 190deg. or par boil - I use the microwave to par boil potatoes/chipsbecareful not to take them too far or they'll just fall apart - then finish off in the fryer at 190deg to colour and crisp. |

Cook 'em in Beef Dripping. Totally unhealthy but if it's an occasional treat it can't hurt that much. And as for taste ... *wanders off into the realms of fantasy*

When I was growing up, my mum used to have a really large saucepan that she only used to make chips. It was black on the outside but not sure if that was its original colour. She melted lard in the pan and when it was smoking hot
she chucked in the chips.When the fat had cooled down and set hard she used to cover the pan and leave it outside the back step. Next time she used it I think she would scrape off any black bits in the fat and then just top it up with more fresh lard. No chips ever tasted that good since - when my sister in law moved in she accidentally threw the pan away, not knowing what it was and thinking it was ready to throw away as it was so old and used. I was most upset! ![]() I wouldn't eat lard now and would be nervous to cook chips this way - but we didn't have chips every night and none of us were overweight as a result. We used to argue over who's chips/dinner would be cooked first!
