I must confess that I never make game chips any more. I simply buy a large packet of potato crisps, sprinkle them with salt and heat them up in the oven. But take care that you don’t end up with one of the nastier varieties like ‘bacon flavour’ or ‘cheese in onion’. If you want to make your own, here goes.
Ingredients
450 g 1 lb - salt
Method
Peel the potatoes and slice them in wafer-thin slices. As you slice them sink them in cold water until you are ready to fry them.
Heat the oil until a crumb will sizzle vigorously in it. Just before frying dry the potato slices thoroughly on a tea towel. Fry a few handfuls at a time until crisp and pale brown. Drain them well on absorbent paper and sprinkle with salt.
