- If you're looking for the perfect French-style frites, top Paris brasserie Le Relais de Venise l'entrecôte and its new London sister (at 120 Marylebone Lane W1; 020 7486 0878) reckon they've cracked them (just arm yourself with a ruler...).
- Peel 1 kg potatoes (maris piper or King Edward are good) then cut into chips 7mm thick. Le Relais says most skinny chips in Britain are 8mm and that 1mm makes all the difference.
- Wash the chips twice in cold water to reduce starch content.
- Drop the chips into vegetable oil heated to 130C until soft but not coloured (about 5 minutes). Drain and keep cool.
- Just before you are ready to eat, heat the oil to 200C and fry the chips until crisp and golden on the outside. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve within 3 minutes for maximum crispness.
