Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large potatoes (preferably Russet or Maris Piper)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into even strips, about 1/2-inch thick for uniform frying.
In a large pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil and stir in the baking soda.
Add the potato strips to the boiling water and let them cook for 5 minutes. This helps to break down the surface starch, allowing for a crispier finish.
Drain the potatoes and lay them out on a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Blot them dry with additional paper towels.
Preheat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan and spread it evenly across the surface.
Once the oil is hot, add the potato strips in a single layer. It is important not to overcrowd the pan, so work in batches if necessary.
Allow the potatoes to fry for 12-15 minutes, turning them regularly until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Remove the cooked chips from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
While the chips are still hot, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt, or to taste.
Serve immediately for the best taste and crunch.
