Get Maris piper potatoes
Peel and cut into chips
Boil for NOT LONG- just enough that surface of chip has gone a bit fluffy. Too long and they disintegrate.
Preheat baking tray with good amount of rapeseed oil e.g crisp n dry. Don't be stingy.
Throw chips onto baking tray, spread evenly, no stacking.
Cook at 160-180'ish for around 40mins. Flip them all at about 20mins.

Wash chips then Double fry.
You fry the first time at a lower heat, like 140c. Second time higher at 190c for about 2-3 minute or so (until golden brown).

par boil slightly. then take out let cool for 5 to 10 mins then i use a culondar to slightly rough them up and obviously remove any water left.
have hot oil at 170c for a start slightly brown them. take them out . rest them again for about 5 mins. then back in once oil is at 190c.
should have golden fluffy chips. the end

This is how we make our triple cooked chips where I work, we use agria potatoes but maris piper should work just fine.
Peel, cut and soak in cold water for an hour. Give them a good wash then drain. We steam ours but boiling in just as effective, you want them just barely cooked through. Strain and leave to air dry 20-30 mins.
Blanch in 140c oil for 3-5 mins. Remove from oil, drain, place on a tray lined with parchment paper. If you're doing a lot add layers of parchment between batches.
Freeze them - This further reduces moisture and when you fry them to serve you can use a higher temp and fry for a little longer, means a crispier outside with a nice fluffy inside.
The advantage of this is you can make loads, freeze them and store them basically forever.
When you're ready to serve you fry them again in 185-190c oil for 4-6 mins, season straight out of the oil.

It removes starch, starch is a sugar.
If you don't soak/wash them they brown much more quickly and burn before becoming crispy.
Talking about made from scratch here, not

TF are you on about Zefan?
OP asked how to make crispy chips, obviously they mean from scratch given the context of their post.
Edit: Nonsense in haiku is still nonsense

If you don’t fancy making your own then these are easily the best you can get in a supermarket and I’ve tried a few over the years.
Folk saying they are dreadful in the reviews are not cooking them correctly or eating them frozen
