Method
-
Firstly, prepare your chips. wash and chop the potatoes into chunky chip sized chips and add to large saucepan of cold water.
-
Bring the chips to the boil and boil for 3 minutes before draining through a colander.
-
Place the drained chips back in the saucepan and place back on the heat for a minute to dry out the potatoes, keeping the saucepan moving to make sure the chips don’t stick. Drying out the potatoes will mean the chips are crispy and delicious.
-
Once the chips have dried out, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the flour and mix gently before adding the oil and salt and pouring out onto a baking tray. Make sure you use a baking tray big enough so that the chips are not on top of each other. Otherwise you will have some soggy chips.
-
If freezing, at this stage leave the potatoes to cool on a baking tray and do not cook them.
-

Leave par boiled chips to cool completely, before covering the baking tray and freezing for 2 hours until frozen. Then transfer the chips into a reusable freezer bag.

Thank you for this recipe. I’d love to make these gluten free. Will using a gluten free flour blend still work for this recipe?
