This classic recipe for homemade French chips delivers the ultimate vegetarian side dish, boasting a fluffy interior and a perfectly crisp, golden exterior. By using the traditional double-fry method, you ensure the potatoes are cooked through before achieving that signature crunch. These chips are a wonderful accompaniment to a variety of meals, offering a far superior flavour and texture to shop-bought frozen alternatives.
Ideal for a weekend treat or a sophisticated bistro-style dinner at home, these chips are best made with Russet or similar floury baking potatoes. The process requires a little patience as you work in batches, but the result is a professional-standard snack. Serve them piping hot with a generous dusting of sea salt and a side of rich mayonnaise for an authentic touch.
