My dad could make tomato and basil sauce for pasta,and stew. We once had dry turkey and soggy sprouts one Christmas when my mum was in hospital and wanted us to still have a normal christmas but I forgive him that because it wasn't the best of times.
My dad's only other "recipe" was fried egg and chips.The chips were made in the deep-fat fryer and were the best chips known to man. I have never had chips as good as my dad used to make them.
He doesn't do any cooking now though.
my dad made amazing deep fat fryer chips
he always claimed the trick was to double dunk them to get the outsides properly crispy
Did your dad ever work in a chip shop?
They always double fry them too
not that I'm aware of
though I'm pleased that his trick was based on proper professional practice
I was under the impression that you fry them once very hot
to seal the outside, then reduce temperature and fry again, to get the insides nice and fluffy.
My dad also made superb chips,
and I can honestly say that I have inherited his skillz.
Ah, my l33t chip skillsz must have
developed because of babby_jimbob. Solved!
