Method

  1. Heat oven to its highest setting, ideally 250C/fan 230C/gas 9. Cut each potato into 1cm-wide slices, then into 1cm-thick sticks. Blanch in a large pan of boiling water for 3 mins, then drain well.
  2. Shake the potatoes out onto a roasting pan, drizzle with oil, ensuring each chip is evenly coated, then season well. Bake for about 15-20 mins, turning the potatoes at least twice, until golden brown and crisp.

    Brilliant. Definitely the best home made chips I have had. The low fat part is a huge bonus and I will keep making these.

    For even lower fat, omit the oil and spray with Fry Light (1 calorie per spray) still delish!

    So yummy!!! Can't get over how good they are! I sometimes make cheese and onion wedges using this recipe but dice up 1 large onion, 2 garlic cloves 2 green chillies and 85g of Cheddar or Emmental and 2 tbsp of sweet chilli sauce. In a heated frying pan I combine the garlic, onion and chillies and cook in butter. Cook until the onion is soft (about 8-10 minutes.) Scatter the chips with the onion mix and grated cheese about 5 minutes before estimated finishing time in the oven. Just before serving, drizzle with the sweet chilli sauce. On this website they have some fantastic easy recipes for roast potatoes, chips and roasties. Take a look! http://www.lovepotatoes.co.uk/

    Excellent recipe, i use it all the time now. Its a hit with my boyfriend as he loves crispy chips! Dont miss out the par-boiling part, and this makes them slightly soft round the edges so you can shake them and rough them up to make them extra crunchy! Also its takes me at least double the time in the oven to cook too even on Gas Mark 9. But well worth the effort. I use olive oil too and season with sea salt and black pepper before shaking onto the baking tray.
