The perfect hot chip is pretty hard to find but we think we have come very close with our homemade hot chips!
Method
-
Cut potatoes into thirds then into smaller chips.
-
Heat water and salt in large saucepan over medium to high heat and bring to the boil. Once boiling for 2-3 minutes reduce heat to a simmer for another 5 minutes until potatoes are cooked.
-
Preheat deep fryer to 190 degrees or heat large saucepan with oil (be very careful!) over medium heat (no lid or can catch fire when you remove the lid).
-
Place french onion soup mix and flour into a bag, add potato wedges and shake until well coated.
-
Place a layer of chips in basket and fry until golden brown.
-
Drain on paper towel and repeat until all done.
-
Serve hot with aioli.
Recipe Hints and Tips:
- Homemade Hot Chips are suitable for freezing if you only half cook the chips (until just starting to change colour) then remove from oil drain and freeze once cooled in a ziplock bag.
