Ingredients
- 1000 g russet potatoes
- 2 liter oil for frying
- seasalt to sprinkle on top
Instructions

- Heat the oil in a fryer or wok using a thermometer and bring the temperature up to 130˚ C. (266˚F)
- In small batches fry the first lot for about 5 minutes. Turn out onto a large tray and leave to cool while you continue with the next batch.
- Once all done repeat the process but this time with oil at 180˚ C (350˚F). Fry until golden and turn out onto kitchen paper to drain. Sprinkle with salt and enjoy!
