Yes I know, you're sweating with excitement, and yes I know it says it in the title, and yes again I know that you're getting bored of the 'yes I know thing', its supposed to be funny...
Ok... on another note lets get started on the post. Which as you read in the title is chips, good TRIPLE COOKED CHIPS, from the renowned chef: Heston Blumenthal, as it says in the title, from his book: 'Heston Blumenthal at Home',as it says in the title.
YES OK NO MORE ABOUT THE TITLE!!!
Right, let us start:
TRIPLE COOKED CHIP
 |
| Sorry for the rubbish photo... Took it with Mums phone! |
Serves 6
Ingredients:
1kg of Maris Piper potatoes, peeled and cut into chips (approx. 2 x 2 x 6cm)
Groundnut or grapeseed oil
Sea salt
Method:
1. Place the chips in a bowl under running water for a couple of minutes to wash the starch off.
2. Place 2kg cold tap water in a large saucepan and add the chips. Put the saucepan on a medium heat and simmer until the chips are almost the edge of collapsing (approx. 25-30 mins depending on the potatoes)
3. Remove the chips with care because they will fall apart VERY easily, I learnt that the hard way, and leave to dry on a cooling rack. Place in freezer for at least an hour to remove the moisture.
4. Heat your deep-fat fryer with it half-full with your oil (10cm) to 130°C. Fry the chips in small batches until a light crust forms or the edge of the chips are turning a golden-brown colour, remove from the oil and leave to drain on kitchen paper.
5. Put the potatoes on a cooling rack and place in the freezer for 1 hour, if you dont want to serve them immediately keep them in the freezer, for a day or two.
6.Heat the oil in the deep-fat fryer to 180°C and fry until they are completely golden. (approx. 7 mins)
Drain and sprinkle with sea salt.
This may seem like a massive hassle, but it's really easy, and the end result is stunning!
PLEASE comment if you tried this at home!
HAPPY COOKING!
