1 kilogram(s) Maris Piper potatoes (250g per portion), cut into chips
1.5 liter(s) vegetable oil or beef dripping (pan should be just over half full)
a good pinch of sea salt

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1cm-wide batons the length of the potato, so they are all the same size. Wash the starch off the potato with cold, running water. Place in a pan of slightly salted cold water; bring to a rapid boil and then chill them in cold water to stop them cooking any further.
Heat the oil to 140°C in a pan at least 6 inches deep. Pat the chips dry, plunge into the hot oil to blanch for 2-3 minutes, then drain.
Heat the oil back up to 180°C. Then plunge the chips back into the oil until they are golden brown (around 4-5 minutes). Drain, dry off and season with sea salt.
