Lol.
This is great.
I've been doing it for yeaaaaaaaaars.
Lmao.
I didn't have fries one day so I was like hey.. what the hell why not?
and tried it. delicious lmao.
BUT I don't put them in water first. i just skin potatoes, cut them up and then put them in the oil. I'll try your way though :D
That's the normal way to make chips anyway. Instead of water. Fill the whole pot with oil. Then cook the chips like that. Then just take the chips out and you can keep re-using the oil.
thanks for the idea but im too lazy ;)
its healthier using the water isnt it ?
Probably lol.
But I dont really care when I just want something goood to eat :P
Cool ill try that :O
WARNING
When you have blanched (par boiled in water) your potato slithers, it is essential for them to be completely cold and dry BEFORE frying them.
This stops the oil catching on fire, caused by the evaporating water when it touches the oil at temperatures of about 200 'C
the way I do it, is buy cutting out the oil. I cut some potatoes so some are thick like chips but others are really thin so you can almost see through them, put them in a pan of oil, keep flipping them over and in 15 mins they will be done, if you like it healthier you can boil OR put some oil at the bottom of a small glass fire proof dish heat on 200 degrees celcius for 5-10 mins whilst chopping potatoes and bung them in the dish leave in oven for 10 mins, then put them in kitchen towel and squeeze all the oil off of them.
I'm gunna do this tomorrow :D
ooh i've done this before they are delicious!
