Pan fried chippies

Serves 4

Preparation time: 10 minutes  
Cooking time:
20 minutes

Ingredients
120ml oil 
1kg potatoes, I like Vivaldi potatoes from Sainsbury’s but otherwise Maris Piper will be good
Salt or steers seasoning 

Method
Take a carrier bag and wash the inside fully.  Don’t worry about drying it because this will help to create the steam. 

Cut your peeled potatoes into little chunks (around 2½ cm) - they need to be roughly the same size but don't stress too much. 

What I now do is steam my potatoes, I do this by taking a carrier bag and putting the potatoes in and tie a knot in the bag so that no steam can escape.  Put the bag into the microwave on full power for 5 minutes.  If you do not have a microwave you can par boil them for 5 minutes but you will need to drain them very well. 

In a large frying pan or wok add the oil and fry the potatoes on a fairly high heat, turning often until starting to golden.  Season and continue to cook until golden all over and serve.
