How to cook
Oven cook From Ambient
Roasting. Wash, peel, and cut into even-sized pieces. Parboil the potatoes in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain. Place on a roasting tray with oil. Cook in a preheated oven at 190°C/325°F, Gas Mark 5 for 45 minutes to 1 hour, and baste as necessary. Stir halfway through cooking. Drain thoroughly and serve. Different power ovens adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Deep Fry From Ambient
Chipping. Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into 1cm slices, then into sticks. Soak in water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a clean tea towel. Deep fry at 170°C/340°F for 4-6 minutes and lift out just as they start to color. Raise the heat to 190°C/375°F and plunge the chips back into the oil for a further 2-3 minutes until golden. Finally, drain the chips on absorbent paper and serve.
