Greatest Chips (French Fries) on Earth

Ingredients
# 1 kg potato
# oil (for deep frying)
Directions

1 Fill a saucepan with plenty of water and bring up the water temperature to 62C (145F).

2 I found on my electric stove top that medium was a good temperature to start with and as it approached dropping back to low held it there.

3 Peel potato and cut into chips (French Fries). I think around 12mm (1/2") cross is a good size, the recipe wouldn't be well suited to thin ones.

4 Pre-cook in water at 62°C (145°F) for 30 minutes, drain well and allow to cool to room temperature (takes around 15 minutes).

5 Deep-fry in warm oil at 130°C (265°F) for 5 minutes, drain and allow to cool to room temperature (takes around 15 minutes).

6 Deep-fry in hot oil at 190°C (375°F) until golden and done to your liking, around 5 minutes. If doing a lot of chips either cook in small batches or crank up the burner if using a wok when adding so the temperature of the oil doesn't drop too much.
