Potato Crisps

Instructions

  1. Scrub 300 g of Maris Piper potato under cold water; leave the skin on for flavour or peel it if you want a paler crisp. Slice it into rounds a scant 1.5 mm thick on a mandoline, working steadily so every slice is the same thickness, uneven slices cook at different rates and scorch.
  2. Drop the slices straight into a bowl of cold water as you cut and swill them about to wash off the surface starch. Leave to soak for 30 minutes, changing the water once halfway; the water should run almost clear at the end.
  3. Drain the slices and spread them in a single layer on a clean tea towel. Lay a second towel on top and press firmly, they must be bone dry or the oil will spit and the crisps will go leathery.
