How to make CRISPY CHIPS recipe | French Fries

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: frozen fries

Sweet potatoes offer more nutrients and fiber.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil is healthier with a higher smoke point.

salt

🥗Healthier: sea salt

💰Cheaper: table salt

Sea salt adds minerals and a different flavor.

ketchup

🥗Healthier: salsa

💰Cheaper: homemade ketchup

Salsa is fresher and lower in sugar.

Peel the potatoes (optional: can leave skins on if washed).

Chop the potatoes into fairly even-sized sticks.

Transfer the chopped potatoes into a bowl of cold water.

Change the water once or twice and soak the potatoes for about 30 minutes.

Drain the potatoes in a colander and place them on tissue to dry thoroughly.

Heat a fair bit of sunflower oil in a pan to medium to medium-high temperature.

Fry the potatoes for about 4-5 minutes until slightly cooked but not browned.

Remove the potatoes from the oil and drain on tissue.

Let the fried potatoes sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or alternatively, place them in the freezer or fridge to cool down quickly (not recommended).

Heat the oil to a high temperature again.

Fry the cooled potatoes until they are brown and crispy on the outside.

Drain the fries on tissue and sprinkle with salt.

Serve with ketchup and optionally drizzle with malt vinegar and sprinkle paprika for flavor.
