About Triple cooked chips

Triple cooked chips are a classic side dish originating from British cuisine, popularized by chefs aiming to achieve the perfect balance of crispiness and fluffiness. This method involves boiling, cooling, frying, and resting the potatoes before a final deep fry. Traditionally made from starchy potatoes like Maris Piper, they are high in carbohydrates, which provide energy, but also absorb significant amounts of oil, increasing their fat content. Nutritionally, they are primarily a source of carbs but offer small amounts of potassium and vitamin C naturally found in the potatoes. Triple cooked chips are considered more indulgent due to their preparation style compared to standard fries.

Health Benefits

• Provides quick energy due to the high carbohydrate content (37-40g per serving).
• Contains potassium which supports muscle function and fluid balance (about 400mg per serving in potatoes).
• Potatoes offer vitamin C, a nutrient important for immune function and skin health, though much of the vitamin can be lost during cooking.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: None known

Suitable for: Vegetarian, gluten-free (if fried in uncontaminated oil)

Not suitable for: Low-fat diet, low-carb diet

Selection and Storage

For best results, store peeled potato slices in cold water to prevent browning prior to cooking. Cooked chips can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven for crispiness.
