Heading The Perfect Chip • For perfect fries and wedges, old potatoes are ideal. The potato should be of a low starch, waxy variety i.e. Sebago, Russet Burbank, Spunta, King Edward, Bintje. • Cooking times will vary depending on the size of your fries or chips and the variety of the potato used. • Make sure that the chips are cut to even size to guarantee even cooking. PLEASE NOTE: If cooking homemade raw potato chips, it is recommended that the minimum oil level is used.
