Ingredients

Game Chips

600g potato
oil for deep frying
Maldon salt

Method

Peel the potatoes and slice them wafer thin with a mandolin, Japanese vegetable slicer *, or by hand. Place them in a bowl of water for 20 minutes (this is to remove the starch). Heat the oil in a deep fryer or wok to 190° C. Dry the potato slices thoroughly and fry them in the oil in batches for a couple of minutes each so that they are crisp and golden. Drain them on paper toweling and sprinkle a little salt over them. Keep warm until ready to serve. This can be done 30 minutes in advance.
