evenly. Rinse and dry before frying. For best results use dry
floury textured potatoes i.e. King Edwards or Maris Piper.

hints
G
We would recommend the use of a good quality oil for
deep frying, such as corn oil or groundnut oil. A good
quality solid fat may also be used. Other oils may be
used if they are specifically recommended by the
manufacturer for deep frying. Never mix different oils or
fat and do not use olive oil, butter or margarine as they
will smoke or bubble over.
G
Pre-cooked food needs a higher temperature than raw
food.
G
Cook food thoroughly. The outside may look ready
before the inside is cooked.
