      Exactly, the lengths he'll go to make something 0.5% more crunchy/crispy/whatever is hilarious. It just isn't worth it, blanche the potatoes for a bit then double fry, how much of a difference will the fridge step or boiling them to near soup level make?

    The comments had me expel my dinner like his gas canister. Balled my eyes out😂. The fries are still faster than the millions of „easy sourdough bread“ videos covering days of proofing and punching dough with a sweaty smile. Cooking the potatoes to a near crumble first is a genius idea. Will definitely try.

      They are a lot of effort, but they will be the best chips/fries you’ll ever eat. Cooking them three times ensures that the outside is super crispy and the inside is nice and fluffy.

    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.

    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.

      @@89purpz I think all that carbonation was just too muh, that while cooking the batter just separated from the fish.
      The simple fact that you are using a high alcohol content liquid (vodka + beer) AND you use rice flour is already above and beyond. The use of the siphon was overkill.
      And you really don't need those 3 batches of refrigeration for the chips. Boiling them properly, dry out for a bit, and fry it twice is enough for you to say you did your due diligence for this dish.
      Heston is just doing that extra 1% more, but it's not practical at all.
