Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut off all the rounded sides, then use the rest to create chips that are 1/2" x 1/2".
Put the chips into cold salted water and boil. Leave the chips for 10 minutes from cold. Have absorbent kitchen paper ready to dry the chips as soon as they are out of the water.
When the chips are cooked and dry but still hot, roll them in olive oil and, once coated, drop them into a bowl into which you have mixed the salt, vinegar powder and black pepper. Roll the chips to coat.
Heat the oil to 145°C/290°F and drop in the chips. Fry to a pale golden then drain and leave to cool.
Get the oil hotter - 160°C/320°F - and fry the chips again until they look perfect to serve.
