Greatest Chips (French Fries) On Earth - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 kg potato
    oil (for deep frying)
Preparation
    Fill a saucepan with plenty of water and bring up the water temperature to 62C (145F).
    I found on my electric stove top that medium was a good temperature to start with and as it approached dropping back to low held it there.
    Peel potato and cut into chips (French Fries). I think around 12mm (1/2\") across is a good size, the recipe wouldn't be well suited to thin ones.
    Pre-cook in water at 62\u00b0C (145\u00b0F) for 30 minutes, drain well and allow to cool to room temperature (takes around 15 minutes).
    Deep-fry in warm oil at 130\u00b0C (265\u00b0F) for 5 minutes, drain and allow to cool to room temperature (takes around 15 minutes).
    Deep-fry in hot oil at 190\u00b0C (375\u00b0F) until golden and done to your liking, around 5 minutes. If doing a lot of chips either cook in small batches or crank up the burner if using a wok when adding so the temperature of the oil doesn't drop too much.
