After arriving in New Zealand from the Netherlands, I struggled to find anyone selling decent fries. It was all sloppy chips straight out of a freezer. Back home we eat fries like Kiwi’s enjoy their flat whites and it’s standard for people to meet at least weekly to share a cone of fries with Dutch mayo. On every corner in each major city you can find a place selling delicious crunchy golden fries so it was strange to no longer be able to find something similar in Auckland.
After 15 years of searching, I had no choice but to try to make them myself. After countless nights hand cutting and frying potatoes in the basement of my flat and force feeding my flatmates hundreds of chips from different potatoes I finally had it sorted.
