Moondog seeks advice on making best chips ever. Do you do the twice fried thing? How about soaking to remove starch? What is all that about?

Moondog, you are clearly in need of a too much wine emoticon

sunflower oil
I would post pic of kids tucking in if technical enough.

lol
I never post under influence usually. I have zero coordination after two glasses of goat piss.

Oh... I have to show "granda" this thread tomorrow. It's the only time,(everyother week, maybe once a week if we have the time), that DC get REAL chips. Deep fat fryer/granda's chips. No special recipe just Granda's Deep Fat Fryer and chipped spuds, the red ones he says. It's so sweet, my youngest always says "and Sausages granda". It's a special meal to their home for my DC. We also STINK when we arrive home though, DP always says "you've been at granny and grandas haven't you".

Oh Sixer,my grandmother's chips were wonderful too.Crinkle cut,in a butty with salad cream,big mug of tea and the generation game on the box.
Fab!

ummm how'd she make crinkle cuts???? surely not homemade, was there a device they used then?
Still the memories.

How are you, Dotty, feeling better?
Actually, you must be if you feel healthy enough to tell MD to go to MacD's![girn]

Yes,she had a groovy cutter.

and what does a groovy cutter look like?, i want one

never make them
in fact we don't really do potatoes
occasionally eg on a shepherd's pie or fish pie or roasties for sunday lunch

they are just a vehicle for vinegar imo anyway

well then CD thet ain't real chips. what do you use? parsnips?

My kids have had about a kg of tomato sauce on them.
House looks like somoene has been massacred.

Crinkly gobby,slicer but crinkly.

God,am utterly sloshed.
Meant, it is slicer jobby,but undulating.

no
we just don't make chips
i would have NO idea how to in fact

What do i do with vat of oil left behind though?

ok cd, the raeson for you posting is???? thou shall not give my DC chips, or what?

Sixer,don't give CD a hard time.
She is lovely.

No I just don't know how to cook the fuckers!

I do give her chips
she can have them whenever she wants
but i can't cook them
I am scared of big pans of fat for starters

oh and I was posting because Moondog is my friend and I was talking to her

Stop being so chippy

Yes,I as terrified too of bubbling vat of oil as ds rolled at feet like puppy.
Bloody hell though, have earned vast amounts of Brownie points and my hamburgers were also bloody fab.

is your kitchen slippery and fatty?

Are your children sliding up and down on a giant oil slick?

No.dh has cleaned and scrubbed to within inch of its life while I loafed on Skype drinking wine and chatting to sister in Caribbean.
That is why I married him.
