Ingredients

• 600g Maris Piper potatoes
• 3 tbsp goose fat or vegetable oil
• 2 eggs

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 200˚C/fan 180˚C/gas 6. Cut the potatoes into medium-thick chips. Drop in boiling water, bring back to the boil and cook for 5 minutes. Drain well, and spread out to cool and dry fully (this is vital).

2. Heat the fat in a large, deep baking tray for 10 minutes. Add a chip – if it fizzes, your fat is hot enough; if not, heat for another 5 minutes. Add the chips in a single layer and give them all a good basting. Cook for 35 minutes, until really golden. Lift from the fat with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

3. Fry the eggs to your liking. Serve with the chips.
