Once your oil is hot try tossing in a veggie peeler sliced potato into the mix- fresh crisps anyone? No fear of frying, just the clean-up.

It works the same as burning a candle while smoking a cigarette, the candle flame seems to "burn off" the oil smell. Must be a basic white candle, not beeswax or scented. And I am going to make chops this way as well, how awesome!! (also scared of frying but will deep fry poppadums and prawn crackers on the odd occasion because they're so quick!)

I tried these for dinner tonight (poutine style: topped with cheese curds and gravy). I am completely blown away by this method. Easier than baking (I actually ran across this method when I was looking up baking temps) and way easier than traditional frying methods. They turned out perfectly cooked and crispy (and retained their crispness better than most restaurant fries). Now I can't wait to make them again! Thanks for sharing this great recipe. Wow!

I ususally do my chips in the oven for 45mins and use Red Rascals with the skin on and cut into steak fries. Yummmm!!! I also have a fear of deep frying ever since the day I decided to try cooking doughnuts at home and the oil got too hot and burst into flames!!! Thank god for Dads, I was only in my teens and still at home so Dad flicked the off on the exhaust grabbed the lid of the pot, closed the steam vent and slammed it on the saucepan.... with a full glove pot-mit on of course!! The other thing I learned at that time was to be careful using the overhead exhaust when frying as the flames were nearly drawn up into it and of course that could have been much worse! I'm hoping this tenchnique of yours will allow me start frying again without supervision lol Heya Jules, great cooking technique and I will have to try it.
