Without question, the humble fried potato, the chip, is a gastronomic phenomenon in itself. The ability potatoes have to get mega crispy on the outside and super-fluffy in the middle when cooked is so good. Skinny and shoestring fries are delicious, but a proper fat handcut chip is something else. Its just a shame that theyre not very good for you, but, like a good old cake, life wouldnt be quite the same without them. At home, we dont cook chips very often, so when we do have them, we definitely want the real deal. So let me tell you how i make the perfect chip if youre going to do it, do it right.
