Method

  • step 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.

  • step 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.

question

Can I reheat these the next day?

GoodFoodTeam_

Hello, yes they can be reheated but the texture will change. They will likely loose their crispness. Thank you for your question - Best wishes, Good Food Team

Excellent taste and texture, far better than oven chips. Prepared potatoes and left in cold water for a couple of hours, then rinsed. Plunged into boiling water for 3 minutes, drained then dried for a few minutes on kitchen towel. Brushed with oil. Cooked on 230C fan for 20 minutes, turned twice.

Great chips. Sprinkled with paprika before cooking to give extra colour & flavour. Lovely 💕
