Have recently gone back to the good old method of making my own. Red spuds are best fried in lard.

So, homemade or oven and which method do you prefer.

Salt & vinegar will be provided on this occasion

Often do wedges, sprinkled with black pepper and olive oil. Maris Piper are a good spud for that

Can double fry if I want to, but tend to prefer oven cooked, or better still mini jackets with homemade garlic butter, or dauphinoise or boulangère , more to life than chips!!!

I love home made chips but i don't own a fryer..

I went through a phase years ago after having them at my aunts and went n bought one.

Threw it away a couple of weeks later when kids were asking for chips with everything.

As a chef I do triple cooked chips, labour of love but the best chips you will ever taste, light and fluffy inside and so crisp but light on the outside.

Peel and chip the potatoes, run under constantly running water for 5 mins to run off starch, boil gently until almost at stage they fall apart. Drain then place on wire rack and pop in freezer for 1 hour. Then deep fry at 130 till take on a light crust. Take out, drain and chill again on wire rack for another hour. Then deep fry at 180 till golden Brown. Lots of work but makes you appreciate them more. ( this is how a lot of the best gastro pubs do them so tried and tested )

Dipped in batter, then fried. Chippies round here usually call them scallops. Fit on a barmcake perfectly.

Sounds good, I have heard of a method similar to this before. What type of potato do you use ?

"how bout thin slices instead of chips

Known as fritters in Glasgow (Scotland wide?)

The larger surface area seems to draw in extra oil/ fat. Not to everyone's taste.

Once in a blue moon I do home-made chips, double fried. My son still prefers my friends chips though so he goes to eat them at her house, Bonus!

I only bought my fryer because he wanted chips like hers so it's retired to the back of the cupboard again.

Let you off with the ketchup, but HP is far superior to compliment the perfect chip

Unpeeled = wedges to me, but they must be drizzled in olive oil with freshly ground black pepper then baked in the oven

Almost disqualified as in cubed spuds aren't technically chips, but I'll let you off with the chilli sauce though
