Ingredients
  

For the Chips
  • 4 large potatoes starchy like Russets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 1 tbsp whole black peppercorns
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Step 2: Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into thick chips, about 1-inch thickness.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, toss the potato chips with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Step 4: Spread the chips in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy.

  7. Step 7: Stir in the beef stock and peppercorns, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly reduced.
  8. Step 8: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt to taste.
