THE BEST TWICE-COOKED CHIPS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.

• Place the chips in a colander and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear.
• Place the washed chips in a pan of cold water, bring to a gentle boil, and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander.
• Drain the potatoes thoroughly and then pat dry with paper towels. Remove as much moisture off of the potatoes to avoid splatter when putting them in the oil.
• Add about 2 to 3 inches of oil to a heavy pot or Dutch oven and attach a deep-fry thermometer. Heat the oil to 320 F/160 C. Carefully lower some chips-about 2 handfuls-into the hot oil using a slotted metal utensil or deep-fry basket. Fry for about 3 minutes. Do not brown them.

AIR-FRIED CHIPS

Steps:

• To make straight, neat chips, peel the potatoes and trim away all the rounded edges so they become rectangular blocks. Cut the blocks into batons - they should be somewhere between fries and thick chips, as if they're too thin, they might break; too thick, and they won't cook through (if you like, save the offcuts to make mash or add to soups). Alternatively, cut the unpeeled potatoes into chips without trimming, if you're not bothered by neatness. Rinse the chips and pat dry with a clean tea towel.
• Tip the chips into the bottom of an air fryer (the part with the paddle), add the oil, and toss the chips in the oil so they are evenly coated. Program the fryer to cook for 30 mins using the paddle. After this time, check that the chips are tender and cooked through. If they're not, cook for a further 5 mins. Season well.

HOMESTYLE POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Place potato slices into a large bowl of cold water as you slice. Drain, and rinse, then refill the bowl with water, and add the salt. Let the potatoes soak in the salty water for at least 30 minutes. Drain, then rinse and drain again.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Fry potato slices in small batches. Once they start turning golden, remove and drain on paper towels. Continue until all of the slices are fried. Season with additional salt if desired.
