Method

1. Peel the potatoes, thinly slice, and cook in boiling water until just tender - about 5-7 minutes. Drain and pat dry with a cloth.

2. Sieve the flour and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the water, vinegar and ale. Sprinkle in the ginger and stir the batter until smooth.

3. Heat the beef dripping in a deep-sided frying pan - the melted fat should reach a depth of about 3cm. Dip the cooked potato slices in the flour, and coat with the batter.

4. Fry the slices, in batches, until crisp and golden. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper.

5. Scatter over the spring onions and sea salt before serving and drizzle with malt vinegar.
