Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thick chips, about 1/2 inch wide. Place the cut chips in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch and prevent browning.

  2. 2

    Soak the Chips

    Let the chips soak in the cold water for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to achieve a crispier texture when frying.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) for baking the chips after frying.

  2. 4

    Heat the Beef Dripping

    In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat the beef dripping over medium-high heat until it's hot and shimmering, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 5

    Dry the Chips

    Once the chips have soaked, drain them and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. This ensures that they fry well without splattering.

  4. 6

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully place a handful of the dried chips into the hot beef dripping. Fry them in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 7

    Drain and Season

    Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat. While still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

  6. 8

    Bake the Chips

    Transfer the fried chips to a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to keep them warm and extra crispy.
