The potato: balance and pleasure on a daily basis! Potatoes are an excellent source of energy and contain vitamins. Potatoes vary enormously in size, shape and taste according to the variety, climate and growing conditions. Each variety has its particular cropping time, yield, size, colour, keeping quality and culinary uses. A potato's characteristics when cooked may vary according to its origin and seasonality. Which variety should I use ? As a general rule, we suggest that you use special potatoes that have been recommended for chipping. In many supermarkets the information on the packaging tells you which varieties are suitable for making chips. We recommend varieties such as King Edward and Maris Piper for good results. When potatoes have been freshly harvested, they have a higher water content, we recommend cooking the chips for a few more minutes. Where should I store potatoes? The best place to store potatoes is in a dark cellar or cool cupboard (between 6 and 8°C), away from the light. How should I prepare potatoes for ? To obtain the best results, you must ensure that the chips do not stick together. With this in mind, wash the whole potatoes and then cut them into chips using a sharp knife or chip cutter. The chips should be of equal size so that they cook at the same time. Wash the chipped potatoes in plenty of cold water until it runs clear in order to remove as much of the starch as possible. Dry the chips thoroughly using a clean highly absorbent tea towel. The chips must be perfectly dry before putting them in the otherwise they will not turn crispy. To check that they are dry enough pat them with paper kitchen towel just before cooking. If there is any wetness on the paper dry them again. Remember the cooking time of the chips will vary according to the weight of chips and the batch of potatoes used. How should I cut the potatoes? The size of a chip influences how crunchy or soft it is. The thinner your chips, the more crunchy they will be and conversely, thicker chips will be softer inside. You can cut your chips to the following thickness according to your tastes: American style: 8 x 8mm / Thin: 10 x 10mm / Standard: 13 x 13mm In ActiFry the maximum recommended chip thickness is 13 x 13 mm.
