If you want to make home-made chips, follow the steps below.

1. Choose a variety of potato recommended for making chips. Peel the potatoes and cut them

into equal thickness chips.

2. Soak the potato chips in cold water for at least 20 minutes, drain them and dry them with

a clean, highly absorbent tea towel. Then pat with paper kitchen towel. The chips must be thoroughly dry before cooking.

3. Pour 1 tablespoon of oil (vegetable, sunflower or olive) in a dry bowl, put the chips on top

and mix until they are coated with oil.

4. Remove the chips from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that any excess oil

stays behind in the bowl. Place the chips in the bowl. Note: Do not tip the container of oil coated chips directly into the bowl in one go, otherwise excess oil will end up at the bottom of the bowl.

5. Fry the chips according to the instructions in the section Cooking guide.
