Just can't make decent chips in my apartment. Is it because of the potatoes? In the markets and Carrefour there only seems to be one type which is fairly "new". Or is it the oil? There's Palm Oil; Soya bean Oil; vegetable Oil....I've tried them all...get it really hot before dumping the chips in but to get them to cook right through have to leave them in till they're virtually black and they taste lousy.

I know it can be done because I've had some pretty decent ones at a few restaurants.
