2 tbsp Plain flour
3 cups Vegetable Oil
3 cups Water-with 2 teaspoons salt

- Place a layer of chips in basket and fry until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towel and repeat until all done.

- Homemade Hot Chips are suitable for freezing if you only half cook the chips (until just starting to change colour) then remove from oil drain and freeze once cooled in a ziplock bag.
