About Belgian style chips

Belgian style chips is a company with a local service area.

---

Thick chips from fresh potatoes, fried twice in beef fat. The norm in southern Limburg.

The fat

Beef dripping gives a flavour vegetable oil cannot match. Many places in Limburg and Brabant hold to it; north of the rivers vegetable oil is more usual.

Fresh potatoes

Peeled and cut on the premises rather than from frozen. The difference shows in the shape: fresh chips are irregular, and that is a good sign.

Fried twice

First at a hundred and forty degrees to cook through, then rested, then at a hundred and seventy for the crust. The resting stage is what most places skip.

The paper cone

A paper cone with the sauce on top rather than beside. That is the Flemish way and the ordinary one in Limburg.

Where to find them

Chip shops in southern Limburg and along the Belgian border.
