I assume most people know how to peel a potato.

But it is not necessary to peel them you can leave the skin on. If you like that sort of thing.

Cut the potatoes into strips. Depending on the size you want them.

Get your larger pot fill it up to a quarter way with water, bring it to the boil.
Once boiling add 1x tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 and a half tablespoons of white wine vinegar.
Add a pinch of salt or two.

Add your cut potatoes to the boiling water, let boil for 10 to 15 minutes.

After that remove and let cool to a luke warm temperature.
Remove potatoes and rinse under cold water. (This removes excess starch)

After rinsing the potatoes, strain the water and shake as much water off as possible.

Ready your oil for frying. Heat your oil until max. To test this drop a small piece of potato into the oil, if it fries rapidly the oil is ready.

Please make sure to add potatoes slowly to avoid spatter from the oil. ( be cautious when working with hot oil) fry until golden brown or to taste.

Place the fried chips into a bowl lined with kitchen towels. Add seasoning to taste. For something exotic, have a look at my orange and lemon zest salt.
