Perfectly cooked chips are a delight to eat!

To ensure they’re crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle, we cook them twice!

Cut them thick, par-boil them, and place them in the fridge over night to dry them out for the best results.

We’ve used Desiree potatoes because they’re a great all-rounder and they don’t fall apart when you cook them.

If you have time for one more step, after boiling and drying them out, fry them in 150°C oil for about 3 mins, then drain and cool again for a couple of hours.
