Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 4 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Easy.
- 800 g russet or sebago potatoes
- Cold water, for soaking
- 1 tsp fine salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder and ½ tsp paprika (for the seasoning)
- Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
Method
- Peel the potatoes and cut into thin sticks about 8 mm wide. Soak in cold water 30 minutes, then drain and pat completely dry.
- First fry at 160°C for 4–5 minutes until soft and pale. Lift out and drain.
- Rest 10 minutes (or freeze 30 minutes for extra crispness).
- Second fry at 190°C for 2–3 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Tip the hot chips into a bowl and toss at once with the salt, garlic powder and paprika. Tip: season while the chips are still glistening with oil — seasoning added after they cool just slides off — and keep the sticks thin, or they eat like wedges instead of KFC chips.
