Nope, I peel and cut my own and actually use a frying pan with a little bit of oil - just as good, if not better and use paprika for seasoning - purrrrfect!

Good lad scottjames- who wants to be pissing around with hot oil and pans and peeling spuds. £2 at the chippy buts enough to feed a horse!scottjames30 wrote:If I want chips i just go to the chippy, none of that peeling crap.
And what's with this oil? This is Bolton -not Barcelona! What's wrong with dripping.
You've all gone soft

Actually Rt, I fry mine on a lower setting first till soft.Reebok Trotter wrote:A quick tip which Magoo will verify. If you are using a chip pan always make sure the oil is boiling hot before you put your chips in.
Then I turn the heat to max, then in they go, best chips you will have.

That's sort of the way I do them.
I stick the heat on full whack but put the chips in before the oil is screaming hot, then just let the chips gradually warm in the oil before they get sizzling.
Good drainage and salt is key, when you take them out.

I love thin as they go more crispy, sometimes I leave the skins on if the spuds are not too old if you know what I meanboltonbonce wrote:Thick.on bread dripping with butter,washed down with a pint of Guinness.

Aldi chips are decent. 10 stubies of that french lager to wash them down and Bic is a happy man.

Was in Birmingham last weekend, and had a meal at the Premier Inn. Had some of their 'triple cooked' chips which were surprisingly nice. Myself, I still have home made chips, with oil, as the missus wont put up with lard/dripping, (and it takes ages for the dripping to taste 'right'). Probably have home made chips once every couple of weeks, lots of salt and vinegar. Sometimes have fritters instead, and occassionaly with batter on them, (when the oil is coming to the end of its useful life).

Triple cooked chips! They were invented by Heston Blumenthal,the pretentious git. Oh yes,the first thing I think of doing when the chips are done is putting them in the freezer to get rid of the excess moisture,then cooking them again. The man is a danger to all right thinking people.

I was mad enough to try it once since I like chips just as much as everyone else. I also tried a Heston recipe for bolognese and it was crap. Definitely a chef to avoid if you like cooking your own stuff.

Dead right. I cook everything myself. Mind you,it's generally burnt to a crisp, but you can hide a lot with gravy.

The man makes biscuits out of crabs! He tried to cook an octopus once,but he gave up after 9 hours. It kept turning off the gas.
