Recreate the elusive chippy chip in the comfort of your own home.
Peel the potatoes
Cut into chips around 1 cm square
Place chips in a bowl, cover with water and add the salt, leave covered for 24-36 hours
Strain and dry using a clean tea towel or paper towel, ensure the potatoes are properly dry before frying
Just in case you missed the last instruction, dry the chips!
Add the oil to a suitable sauce pan ensure the oil occupies no more than half of the pan to ensure it does not boil over
Heat the oil to 160
Carefully add the chips to the oil
Fry for around 6 minutes till the chips are a light yellow just starting to brown in some places
Remove chips to a metal colander over a bowl or on to kitchen paper (the former is preferred)
