A teenage chef has shared how to make chips at home that are supposedly better than fast-food giant McDonald’s.
Morgan Hipworth might know what he’s talking about as the 19-year-old founded his own food business – Bistro Morgan Bakehouse – in Melbourne.
The teen has now gone viral for his tips on how to get the crispiest and fluffiest home-made French fries.
Morgan also claims that his fries are healthier than McDonald’s as they don’t need to be deep-fried.
Revealing his four-ingredient recipe on TikTok, Morgan said you only need red-skinned potatoes, olive oil, salt, and herbs.
To begin, Morgan cut the potato into sticks, to resemble skinny chips.
He explained: ‘First up, we need to peel and cut the potatoes into fries. Add the fries to a pot with cold water and sea salt.’
After leaving the potatoes in water for a few minutes, Morgan then boiled it for a further two minutes.
This process of parboiling means the potato will need less time in the oven to roast and the insides of the chips will come out fluffy.
@morganhipworth you can’t beat french fries, what should I make next? 🤤 #foryou #cooking #food #yum
The next step is to drain the potatoes and transfer them onto a baking tray.
Morgan added: ‘Bake with olive oil, salt, and your favourite herbs at 200 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes.
‘Boom, there you have it. The perfect French fries.’
