Well! Who would have believed the humble chip needed all that attention? Thanks Ted. Maybe I need to get myself a thermometer, lol

Ted, what is a Maris Piper (I know it's a potato, but what variety/color, etc.)?  Would we have them here in the USA?

Try the recipe of Heston Blumenthal (chef of a three Michelin-starred restaurant) that one is even more complicated.

Good question Barbara - the potatoes here are never sold by name - sometimes you can find ones that say "good for mashing or good for roasting" but that is unusual.  So it's pot luck what the potatoes turn out like.

We also have different indications for potatoes. The best for the chips is the one they use for roasting. The one use for mashing is to soft.

Here in Holland we have the "bintje" and they say it's the best potato for making chips.

Better ask your local green grocher.

According to the little bit of research I've done, it appears our closest equivalent would be either a Russet or Yukon Gold, depending on who you ask.

Whoops I forgot to mention - they need to salt shaken over them before eating and vinegar.  Anyone know a better vinegar than the brown malt vinegar to put on fish and chips?
