Ingredients

  • vegetable or sunflower oil
  • potatpes, Maris Piper or King Edwards
  • salt

Method

Peel your potatoes and square them off. Cut the potatoes into even sized, thin batons. Keep the French fries in cold water as you prepare the rest to stop them going brown.

Drain the potatoes of the excess water, pat them dry, then add them to a pan with hot oil in it.

When the potatoes are nice and golden coloured, remove them to a plate with kitchen towels on it.

Sprinkle over some salt, and enjoy!
