Homemade chips to fry

[daisydee43]

Hi am hoping to make homemade chips to fry tonight - got 2 large jacket potatoes.

I guess I slice into chips and then do I part boil like roasties or just put in fryer?

Thanks

Just put them straight in. I rinse them to remove excess starch then dry thoroughly

Straight in the deep fat fryer. But make sure the oil is hot enough first. Test by adding a cube of bread. If it bobs to the top and starts to sizzle and colour straight away you're OK. If the bread sinks, give the oil a bit longer to heat up before putting in the chips.
