  • Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add oil.

  • Sprinkle the potatoes with sea salt flakes and chopped chives, then serve.

Notes

Potatoes: You can use any kind you like but fluffy white potatoes are my favourite. Something like King Edwards, Rooster or Maris Piper is great 
Oil: Something flavourless and neutral, like sunflower oil is best. However, if you’d rather something with more flavour, you could try duck or goose fat or beef dripping or olive oil
Slice size: Between about 3-4 mm thickness is ideal
Don’t overcrowd: Make sure your oil is hot and always sauté your potatoes in a single layer so the heat can get to them fully. If you overcrowd the pan, they might not crisp up well
Leftovers: Can be frozen or used in another dish on another day
