To have just deep fried potatoes? I am in LOVE with them.

My oven is broken. I usually make roast potatoes in it when I fancy them but obviously couldn't.

So I par boiled a load of spuds and then shallow/deep fried them in a bloody wok and they were AMAZING.

I love all potatoes but these...my God.

I'm almost sorry I discovered them. I haven't eaten anything cooked in oil like that since about 1985 when I was a kid!

Fried potatoes and onions shallow fried, with lashings of brown sauce.

Mm mm... Goes to check how many potatoes are left.

These weren't quite Lyonaise potatoes as they weren't slices.

That's what my mum used to make as roast potatoes when I was growing up.

Nigella was quite the revelation to me...

I didn't know that dish had a name. I thought I'd made it up. Everyday is a school day Smile

Grate cheese/pour gravey on them Shock why just why

Homemade chips/fried potatoes are the foods of gods a little salt and maybe vinegar or lemon juice (adds to your 10 a day 2 on one delicious meal) is all that's needed in my humble opinion and far nicer than oven or chip shop chips they just don't compare (though csc are very nice)

I wouldn't put cheese on them and have to admit they were perfection with just salt.

I might dip one in gravy though.
