How iconic slap chips evolved and how to make them at home.
Ingredients
  • Potatoes
Instructions
  1. Today’s episode is a request from Dawie Venter in Australia.
  2. South Africa’s iconic Slap Chips…. Spelled “slap” but pronounced “slup” were not invented by anyone in particular, but instead they evolved through a combination of bad staff training, laziness and the cost savings of running a fryer at lower temperatures.
  3. This may sound harsh, but something good did come from it…. Slap chips!
  4. The owners of the take-out establishments where slap chips evolved realised that running their chip fryers at lower temperatures of around 150c instead of the customary 180c, the oil would last much longer before denaturing and becoming unusable.
  5. To compound this issue, lazy or poorly trained staff would then overload the fryer with a full basket of cold chips instead of a half basket. The oil temperature would plummet to less than 100c, and the chips would boil in the oil instead of frying, for at east the first 5 minutes of the cooking process.
  6. This would effectively partially cook the chips, followed by very slow frying for another 10-15 minutes until the chips floated to the top of the oil indicating they were ready to remove. By the time the chips were cooked, the oil temperature was a mere 140-145c. The result was a whole new type of chip…. Slap chips… which were originally intended to be French fries.
  7. To achieve the same result at home, you don’t need to heat your oil to 150c, or cut a truck-load of chips to overload your fryer. Simply cut 4 medium potatoes into chips of about 12mm in thickness. This is intentionally thicker than a French fry, as slap chips to tend to fall apart if cut thinner than this. Place the chips in very cold water to keep them from discolouring. At this stage you can actually store your chips in the refrigerator for later.
  8. When you are ready to start frying your chips, dry the chips off with a dish towel, place the chips in your fryer basket and lower it into the cold oil. Turn on your fryer to maximum and let the process take its course.
  9. After about 5 minutes, the chips will start to boil in the oil. Notice I say boil, not fry, as the oil is not yet hot enough to cause any type of frying action. This will continue for a few minutes, after which the temperature of the oil will reach around 110c and the chips will start to fry very half-heartedly.
  10. Another few minutes and the frying will increase as the temperature nears 120c.
  11. After another few minutes, the chips will start to rise to the surface. The oil will be at approximately 140c – 145c in temperature, and the chips will only be slightly golden. They are ready to be removed from the oil.
  12. Add a generous sprinkling of white spirit vinegar and salt, and you’re ready to serve.
  13. If you don’t have a fryer at home, you can use a pot, or high side frying pan to achieve the same results as a fryer.

Bulk Producing Potato Croquettes at Home
Author: 
Recipe type: Potatoes
Cuisine: French
Serves: 2kg
 
Potato croquettes are an all-time favorite with their creamy inside and super-crispy shell. Made in small quantities, they are actually quite a hassle to make, especially considering that they are an accompaniment. Today we're going to make these in bulk, allowing you to freeze the croquettes and use them as required without all the hassle.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
  • 2kg Roughly mashed potato
  • 60ml Full cream milk
  • 2 Tbs Salt
  • 1 Tsp White pepper
  • 4 Tbs Dried onion flakes
  • 4 Egg yolks, beaten
  • 6 Tbs All-purpose flour
For the Coating:
  • Eggs, beaten
  • All- purpose flour
  • Finely crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs
Special Equipment
  • Sausage stuffer
  • 300mm Ruler or strip of rigid plastic
Instructions
  1. To start, place 2kg of roughly mashed potato in you mixer bowl.
  2. Add 2 Tablespoons salt, 1 teaspoon white pepper, 4 tablespoons dried onion flakes and 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
  3. Combine 4 egg yolks with 60ml of full cream milk and pour this in.
  4. Place the bowl on your mixer with the dough hook attached and mix the mash until totally combined. This will take about 5 minutes. You can also mix it by hand if you don't have a mixer.
  5. Attach the funnel of your choice to your sausage stuffer. I am using a 35mm funnel, but you can go with any diameter of your choice.
  6. Fill the hopper with the potato mixture making sure to press it down after each addition to avoid air pockets in the mix.
  7. Close the hopper and advance the plunger.
  8. For the next step, you will need a school ruler, or a length of reasonably rigid plastic.
  9. The potato mixture will be extruded along the plastic to make long cylinders of potato mix.
  10. Advance the mixture along the funnel until it reaches the end of the funnel.
  11. Hold the plastic under the funnel while advancing the potato, progressively moving the plastic at the same rate as the potato exits the funnel.
  12. As it nears the end of the ruler, slice the potato off clean.
  13. Roll the log of potato from the ruler into a large pan.
  14. Continue until all of the potato has been extruded. At this diameter, you will get about 2 meters of extruded potato.
  15. Cover the pans and transfer them to your freezer overnight.
  16. The following day you will need a bowl of all-purpose flour, whisked eggs, and a bowl of finely crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs. These quantities are all dependent on how much potato you processed.
  17. Take a little of the flour and sprinkle it over a couple of large platters. This is where the coated croquettes will sit waiting to be fried, and the flour will prevent the coating from sticking to the platter and getting damaged.
  18. Remove the potato logs from the freezer and use a strong knife to chop these into equal lengths.
  19. Working with one portion at a time, dredge the croquette in the flour.
  20. Roll the potato in the egg to wet all of the flour.
  21. And then into the crumb to get a good solid coating all over.
  22. Transfer this this to one of the platters and continue with the remaining croquettes.
  23. To fry the croquettes, half fill a wok with oil and heat this to 170c or 340f.
  24. Carefully add the croquettes to the oil and fry them for 3 to 4 minutes. Give them a gentle stir every minute to ensure even browning. You can also par-fry for 60 seconds to set the coating, remove from the oil, cool and refreeze for super-quick croquettes in the future.
  25. Use a slotted spoon to remove the crispy croquettes from the oil and drain any excess oil on kitchen paper.
  26. Serve the croquettes piping hot as an accompaniment to your main course.
  27. Thanks for joining us today, please subscribe, like, and share, and we'll see you again tomorrow.

Microwave Potato Crisps – How to Make Salt & Vinegar Potato Crisps in Your Microwave Oven!!!

Today we're going to look at a neat trick to make salt and vinegar potato crisps in your microwave. Not only do these potato crisps have less oil content then regular crisps, but they are crispier, tastier, and a fraction of the price. You can find the printable recipe on our website http://Whats4Chow.com --- or below in this description! This is episode #774 with Whats4Chow - please subscribe for notifications and updates. Ingredients 2-3 Large potatoes 30ml Kosher salt 500ml Cheap white vinegar 500ml Water A little oil for brushing Instructions To start, use a razor-sharp knife to slice these into wafers of 1mm thickness. Using long smooth cutting strokes will result in more even slices. Pour a half liter of water and a half liter of cheap white vinegar into a large mixing bowl. Add 15ml or a tablespoon of non-iodated salt and stir this until dissolved. Add the potato slices to the salt and vinegar solution and mix them up a little to separate. Allow this to stand for 30 minutes. The salt and vinegar draws and neutralizes the starch from the potatoes, while simultaneously flavoring the slices. After 30 minutes remove the slices from the solution and arrange them over half of a clean dish towel. Fold the open half over the slices and pat them dry. Repeat this until all of the slices are dried. Place a square of baking parchment on a plate and arrange some of the slices over the parchment. Brush the slices lightly with oil, turn them over and brush the reverse sides as well. Microwave the slices on high setting. My microwave is 900 watts, and I zap my crisps for 7 minutes, turning halfway through. If your microwave is more or less powerful than this adjust the cooking time up or down accordingly. Continue microwaving batches until all of the crisps are done. The crisps will keep crispy for up to a week in an air-tight container. And there we have it, a mountain of crisps, from just 2 potatoes.

Batch Processing French Fries - Homemade Par-Fried French Fries to Save Time & Money!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Accompaniments
Serves: 1200g
 
On the odd occasion when you have a little spare time, it's a good idea to do a bit of bulk processing that will save you a ton of time later. Bulk processing French fries is really simple, and can save a load of money when compared to bought frozen pre-cut fries.
Ingredients
  • 1200g Potatoes
  • 30g Salt
  • 250ml Cheap white vinegar
  • Boiling water to cover
Instructions
  1. The first step is to peel the potatoes, followed by cutting them into fries of even thickness. You can choose any thickness you like, mine are medium, or about 8mm... if you go thinner cut down the par-frying time, and if you're going thicker, bump it up.
  2. Place the cut potatoes in a mixing bowl, add 30ml of salt and 250ml of cheap white vinegar.
  3. Pour in enough boiling water to cover the fries, give them a quick stir to separate, and allow these to stand for 30 minutes. This gives the time for the vinegar to draw out and neutralize the starch in the chips.
  4. After this time you will visibly see how cloudy the water is.
  5. Strain the fries through a large colander and rinse them thoroughly.
  6. Tip the fries out onto a large dish towel and pat them dry thoroughly.
  7. Heat a large pot or wok of oil to 180c or 350f and fry the chips in batches for 6 minutes per batch.
  8. Transfer the fries to a baking tray lined with kitchen paper and a rack. Allow them to cool for 30 minutes before transferring the pan to your freezer.
  9. After a couple of hours the fries will be frozen solid and it's time to portion them into packets and return them to the freezer.
  10. To cook the chips, fry them from frozen at 180c or 350f until crisp and golden.
  11. You can also bake them like oven chips by placing them in a single layer in a baking tray. Bake them in a preheated oven at 250c until they are crispy and golden, giving them a shake every five minutes to ensure even cooking.

Recipe type: Fast Food
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2
 
Today is the final episode in our short series covering incredible and unusual hotdogs. You can check out the entire series by clicking the info button on the screen. Today's featured hotdog is the inimitable chip dog. Tasty and aromatic cheese griller sausages with fresh lettuce, more cheese and a healthy dose of french fries all wrapped in a tortilla makes for a full meal in one easy to manage package.
Ingredients
For 2 Chip Dogs

  • 2 Handfuls of fresh frilly lettuce
  • 4 Handfuls of ready to fry French fries
  • 80g Mature cheddar cheese, grated
  • 2 x 12 inch (30cm) tortillas
  • Tomato sauce and mustard to garnish
Instructions
  1. To make 2 chip dogs you need 4 cheese griller sausages, 2 handfuls of fresh crunchy frilly lettuce, 4 handfuls of cut french fries, 80g of grated mature cheddar and 2 large tortillas.
  2. Fry the chips until crisp and golden, then transfer them to a low oven to keep warm.
  3. Drop the cheese grillers into the oil and fry these for 60 to 90 seconds. The grillers fry very quickly so keep an eye on them... as soon as they start to blister on the skin, they must be removed from the oil.
  4. Place a tortilla on a large platter and arrange a generous handful of lettuce in a stripe across the center of the wrap making sure some of the frilly ends stick out past the edge of the tortilla.
  5. Arrange a generous helping of the french fries on top of the lettuce.
  6. Garnish the fries with tomato sauce and mustard.
  7. Place 2 of the cheese grillers on top of the fries with a slight overlap and the ends protruding over the edges of the tortilla.
  8. Sprinkle 40g of the cheese over this.
  9. Roll up the tortilla to enclose everything and secure this with 2 toothpicks. Continue with the second dog and serve immediately with the accompaniments of your choice.
  10. And there it is, the inimitable chip dog.... pure art in a wrap.

How to Make Potato Crisps - Best Recipe Homemade Potato Crisps - Super Crispy, Super Tasty!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Potatoes
 
Potato crisps are a tote favorite across the globe. Today we're going to look at how to make low carb potato crisps that are super crispy and super tasty.
Ingredients
For the Flavor Powder
  • 30ml Dried mixed herbs (Italian or Herbs Provence)
  • 2.5ml Garlic powder
  • 2.5ml White pepper
  • 5ml Salt
For the Crisps
  • 2-4 Large potatoes
  • 3 Liters water
  • 60ml White vinegar
  • 30ml Salt
Instructions
  1. Place the mixed herbs, garlic powder, fine ground white pepper and salt in your spice grinder. The fine powders help the grinder grind the herbs to powder by adding extra resistance in the chamber.
  2. Transfer the fine blend to a sprinkle bottle.
  3. To cut the potatoes in thin slices, you can use a regular potato peeler, however these slices are too thin and will over-brown before crisping.
  4. Better than the regular is the ceramic peeler which will give you slightly thicker slices. The problem with this is that if you go even slightly skew, the wafers will be horribly uneven, resulting in burnt edges.
  5. The best way to achieve perfect slices is with a very sharp thin blade knife. Cut the slices to 1mm thickness.
  6. Transfer the sliced potato to a mixing bowl and pour in 3 liters of water.
  7. Add the salt and white vinegar and mix this around yo separate all of the potato wafers.
  8. You will immediately see the vinegar liberating the starch from the potato.
  9. Allow this to soak for 30 minutes.
  10. Drain and rinse the potatoes and lay them out flat on a clean dish towel.
  11. Place another towel over these and pat them dry.
  12. Half fill a large pan or wok with oil and heat this to 180c or 350f.
  13. Carefully drop the wafers in to the oil. As the crisps fry you will notice that the violent frying as the water content is driven from the potato becomes more and more gentle.
  14. Within a couple of minutes the crisps will be causing no frying reaction at all, and they will be crisp and golden.
  15. Remove the crisps from the oil and drain on kitchen paper.
  16. Continue with any remaining potato wafers.
  17. As the crisps cool they will crisp up even more.
  18. Transfer them to a large roasting tin. Sprinkle the flavoring powder over the crisps and toss them around gently to coat.
  19. Sprinkle again to cover any blind spots, toss again, then serve with a dipping sauce of your choice.
  20. And the we have it.... a mountain of awesomely crisp, golden, low carb potato crisps ready to be snacked.

  2. In the meantime place the ground beef in a mixing bowl and add the salt, chilli flakes and dried garlic granules.
  3. Get in there with your hands and massage this all together.

  9. Carefully lower the potatoes into the oil and fry them until crisp and golden on both sides.

  11. Heat another pan over medium high heat and add 15g of butter.
  12. Grill the burger patties for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side.

Deep Fried Mash Potato Croquettes - Super-Crisp on the Outside, Soft & Creamy on the Inside!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Potato
Serves: 24
 
Yesterday we looked at delicious oven baked mash potato. Today we're going to make crispy deep-fried mashed potato croquettes. This recipe can be made equally successfully with instant mash or real homemade mash.
Ingredients
  • 500g Cooked and mashed potato (or instant)
  • 100g Diced pepperoni or salami
  • 250ml All-purpose flour
  • 6 Eggs, beaten
  • 500ml Fine breadcrumbs
  • Oil fry deep-frying
Instructions
  1. Mix the diced pepperoni into the potato. You can experiment with all sorts of alternatives here.... flaked fish, smoked chicken, or really anything you fancy.
  2. Cover the mash and allow it to cool to room temperature.
  3. Place 2 x 12 hole silicon mini muffin pans on a baking sheet.
  4. Fill the holes with potato mixture.
  5. Transfer the muffin trays to your freezer until the potato pucks are frozen solid.
  6. To coat the croquettes, pop a potato puck from the mold.
  7. Dip it in the egg.
  8. Dredge it in the flour to coat, then back into the egg to wet all of the flour.
  9. Dredge the potato in the breadcrumbs to get a good solid coating, then transfer it to large platter that has been sprinkled with breadcrumbs. The layer of breadcrumbs prevents the croquette from sticking to the plate which would result in damaged coating.
  10. Continue this process until all of the croquettes are coated. Allow the coating to set for 20 minutes before continuing.
  11. Half fill a large pan or wok with oil and heat this to 160c or 320f.
  12. Carefully drop the croquettes into the oil in batches and fry each batch for 4 to 5 minutes until super-crisp and golden.
  13. Remove the croquettes from the oil and drain on kitchen paper.
  14. And there it is.... a whole load of amazingly crispy, golden and tasty deep-fried potato croquettes.
