I rarely make chips...but when I do I sprinkle the chipped potatoes with a little salt(to draw out the water), dry them, and wrap them in a clean tea towel and put them in the microwave for about a minute.......this means that the chips are already warm...and when dropped into the hot oil(I use vegetable oil) they do not lower the temperature of the oil....cook quicker, absorb less oil and are really crispy.
