    @lc9245 4 года назад +13

    If you have time to try his perfect chips, here’s the order of operation: prepare fish and potatoes. Boil the cut potatoes, in the mean time mix the batter mix and arm the canister and put it in the fridge. Get the chips out into the rack and put it in the fridge as well. Wait for half an hour. During that wait, get your fryer or the pan of oil with thermometer on. Fry the chips first, they’ll take longer. While the chips are frying, get the batter out and coat the fish, proceed to fry the fish while the chips rest for their second fry. If you only have one pan of oil, no fryer, fry the chips first and in between the resting of the chips, fry the fish in that oil.

  • @tupachussain
    @tupachussain 8 лет назад +5

    I soak the chips for maybe 5 minutes or couple of hours on multiple occasions same great results either way. Boiled them 5 minutes or 10 minutes. Fried them once for 7 minutes took them out patted them dry and let em rest 2 minutes. Fried them again and after 7 minutes they were brown, hard on the outside crispy and soft inside was so perfect, salted them soon as I took them out. Delicious. I used the potatoes not ideal for chips and this process worked on those potatoes.
