I have nothing against the recipe but you should take note that not all potatoes are suitable for frying. Those suitable for frying (chips) include King Edward and Golden Wonder. Choose one suitable for boiling and we we get soggy french fries. I am amking this posting because I do not want some people to become disappointed. Many Asians do not realise the differences and I have seen and eaten many soggy potato chips. all the best, rosdimy
