Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
Was this really three years ago? 
Just bought a(nother) deep fat fryer.
Small one from Argos for £15.99.
Small enough to do single portions and not take up too much space.
The big stainless steel one is in the loft.
This time I parboiled the chips for 3 minutes, drained them on kitchen paper on a rack, then fried them until darkish brown and floating.
I'm still trying to get them crispy and not too fibrous but they are nice in a Low Carbohydrate roll with butter and a touch of brown sauce.
I shall see what they do to my BG.
Made extra to go in the fridge and then try reheating them.
