???

no, but soak them in water with a bit of lemon juice added.

nope.

funnily enough, same thread on here yesterday.

I wash them and them put them on baking tray and sprinkle with olive oil.

i do just put mine on now

if you don't they are potato wedges, if you do they are more chiplike. i most definitely definteily would not bother if i were you

And how do you get them to go crispy? Mine tend to be pallid and soggy (bit like my thighs ...)

No...soak them in water to remove some of he starch and dry them well to

If frying, par fry on a lower heat then to crisp, remove from the oil, turn the heat up to max and then finish them off.

Or so says Nigel Slater and he's never let me down

presoak them in lemon and water!!

This helps to get rid of the starch. Then you should fry them for a few mins with the temp lowish, take them our, then turn the temp up hotter before returning them til cooked - that will make the crispy and not greasy.

lol, crossposted! I learnt the soaking from my MIL and the cooking method from a chef where I used to work.

This is how we do ours

ah sorry i was thinking homemade chips in the oven. If I were frying them then i wouldn't pre cook but like others have said low heat then turn it up to finish off.
