Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes
  • Salt
  • Black truffle oil
  • Grated parmesean cheese, optional

Instructions 

  • Pre heat your fryer to 150C / 300F
  • Cut your potatoes into chips- keep them as chunky or skinny as you like, but bear in mind that if they are particularly chunky or skinny it will affect your cooking times!
  • Throw the chipped potatoes into the fryer, and cook for 10 minutes until they are a quite soft and soggy, but not too brown. Give the basket a shake halfway through to avoid them sticking together and cooking unevenly
  • Remove the chips and let them cool down, atop some paper towel to soak up the excess oil
  • Pre heat the fryer to 190C / 375F
  • Place the chips back into the fryer for a further 4 to 5 minutes, until they are your preferred crispiness
  • Throw the chips into a large bowl, sprinkle with salt and a drizzle of truffle oil. I haven’t given an amount- it really depends on how potent your oil is. If you have the strongest of oils, 1 teaspoon will do. If you have a milder one, you may need more.
  • Toss the chips to ensure they are evenly coated with the salt and oil. Throw in the cheese now, if using.
  • Dig in, use your hands, and lick your fingers when you’re done!
