Ingredients
  

Chips

  • 4 large Russet potatoes
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Malt vinegar to taste

Assembly

  • 4 soft white rolls
  • Butter or sauce of your choice

Instructions
 

  • Peel the potatoes and slice them into half-inch thick batons.
  • Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least two hours to remove excess starch.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly and pat them completely dry with clean kitchen towels.
  • Heat about three inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer until it reaches 350°F.
  • Fry the potatoes in small batches until they are golden brown and cooked through, which usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and drain them briefly on paper towels.
  • Season the hot chips generously with sea salt and a splash of malt vinegar.
  • Split the rolls open, spread with butter or your preferred sauce, and pile the hot chips inside to serve immediately.
