Proper Chippy Chips Recipe : British Nostalgia

Proper Chippy Chips Recipe

Alright, listen up. If you want to recreate that perfect chippy experience at home, it's all about technique. First, you gotta choose the right potato – Maris Piper or King Edward is best. Peel and chop them into chunky chips, none of that skinny stuff. Soak 'em in water for at least 30 mins. Pat dry (this is IMPORTANT). Double fry for ultimate crispiness: once at 130°C until soft, then at 180°C till golden. Salt 'em straight away. Serve with a splash of malt vinegar and a side of mushy peas if you're feeling extra nostalgic. Enjoy!

Don't skip the mushy peas, folks. They're a must! Add a bit of mint sauce and it's just like being back at the seaside.

Why not just dunk them in vinegar from the start? Solve two problems at once, right? 🍟😂

Salt 'em as soon as they're out, so crucial! But use sea salt flakes for that perfect crunch. Makes all the difference!

130°C the first time sounds a bit low, but I'm definitely up for giving it a shot. Anyone else tried air frying chippy chips?

Spot on steps! I usually make a batch of these on Sunday nights. If you want to be extra nostalgic, wrap the chips in some newspaper before serving! Something about that just makes them taste even better.

Finally, someone who gets it! Maris Piper really are the MVP for chippy chips. Has anyone tried triple frying? I reckon it might be overkill, but who knows?

Sounds like a lot of work. Is it genuinely better than just getting chips from the chip shop down the street though?
