  • Tip 1: Cheap the right type of potato - it's got to be rooster or Maris potato
    Tip 2: Cook 3 times; the first 2 times are to erase moisture; each time cook 10-20 minutes
    Tip 3: Steam dry for 15 minutes
    Tip 4: Double fry in duck fat: fry once at 140ºc; then rest for 10 minutes; then fry again at 180ºc

      You mean that leftover oil from the roast ducklings they cook every freaking day?
      Just one roast duckling gives more than a cup of fat.
      Trust me...The type of fat they're cooked in has nada to do with it.
      People are just too stupid to realize how much better kettle chips are.
      Those aren't even chips.
      They're fries.
      Burger King's fries are better than those oily logs this guy calls chips?
      Michelin star???
      I guess they give those out for crap these days.

      Technically, he's not wrong, BulletFever. Chips get their name from "chipped" potatoes. These potatoes were not chipped; they were "cored" (though there isn't an actual potato core, so to speak). Therefore these are not chips....otherwise an oven chip would have to be called a roast potato ;)

    The double fry technique is one of the keys to getting the soft inside and crispy outside. Sure, boiling them and waiting 15 minutes and having bank to throw at duck fat will make them "Michelin" quality, but if you pick good potatoes and do the double fry technique without the rest, you'll have some great chips for at home cooking.

Canola oil can easily be under $1 a liter whereas duck fat is $15 a liter for the cheap supermarket quality stuff. Those fryers hold 10 liters and need to be changed twice a week (maybe more if ur a fancy pancy Michelin star chef) times that by like 4 or 6 fryers and you have a metric shit tonne of money spent on duck blubber.

    Then you let it dry for 15 minutes.
    Then you cook it again by frying it at 140 C for 10 minutes.

    Third cook is the final fry at 180 C.

    Substitutes
    While “Maris Piper” is grown commercially in the U.K., it is harder to find in the U.S. In general, seed potatoes from other countries can't be shipped to the U.S. You can substitute any potato that has similar characteristics and shares “Maris Piper’s” floury texture. These include “Russet Burbank”; “Kennebec”; a blocky, white potato; and “Desiree,” a red-skinned, yellow-fleshed potato.

    My French grandmother's chips were amazing and, broadly speaking, she appears to have followed Tom Kerridge's process. The cut chips were washed under cold water to remove excess starch, then wrapped in a clean tea-towel and spun in the free-standing laundry spinner. They then went into an extremely large and heavy French cast-iron pot with a very long handle, into boiling beef fat. They stayed there until they were cooked but hardly brown. From there they were removed with a slotted spoon on to a draining tray. When the chip fat had reheated to a high temperature, the drained chips were returned to the pot and turned crispy and brown very quickly. They were delicious and she served them with homemade rabbit pate, fish, cold meats, salads, etc...
    I was frankly horrified at the amount of wasted potato left after two or three "apple-corer" chips had been extracted from each single potato!

      Food science: The first bite is the most important bite of all, because the flavors explode in yer mouth.
      I reckon that size of a fry would take 2-3-4 bites to finish which would " make them forget" the taste.
      Think about it like a perfume shop. When you browse perfumes u smell 1 so you can differentiate. Smell them for more than 5 sniffs and you get confused.

      No one at home triple cooks their oven chips in goose fat, so it wouldn't be a fair test to cook them the same way. He charges more because of the cooking process and time, he said himself.

      Well yes of course they will have batches ready to cook but you'd have to wonder how many orders can they take before their supply is used up. Regardless of how many stars they have you can easily tell the difference between fresh made to order and pre cooked.
