Oven-roasted chips

Try these oven-roasted chips, far less fatty than their fried cousins

Difficulty and servings

Easy

Serves 4 - 6

Preperation and cooking times

Ready in about an hour

Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Peel the potatoes and cut them into long chip shapes - the thickness you do is entirely up to you, though the width of your finger is ideal. Rinse under the cold tap and pat dry with a tea towel.
  2. Spread the chips on a large non-stick baking tray and toss with oil and celery salt. Lie them fl at in a single layer - use two trays rather than overcrowd one. Roast for 45-50 mins, turning now and then. When cooked they should be golden brown and crisp with a light fluffy centre. Scatter on sea salt to serve.

    We only have oven chips in our house. I normally buy them but these were excellent, will definitely make them all the time now, and it was so easy.

    I've been making my own chips for a while now but these are really good, especially with the celery salt.

    We've just moved into our new house & don't want to cook chips the usual smelly way! So this recipe is ideal, great chips & no "chips smell" hanging around afterwards

    I've always brought my just-cut chips to the boil in a pan of cold water and then tossed them in a good olive oil before baking. This gives great results!

    Instead of laying the chips in a pan and then sprinkling with the oil, put the chips into a saucepan with the oil, put the lid on and give it a good shake. The chips will be evenly coated and when baked will taste absolutely scrumptious!

    Are these long, thin roast potatoes?

    These are amazing!! I'm desperately trying to stop my dad from eating fried foods and unfortunately he loves take away chips. He loved these so much, I think maybe even more than all the fast food chain chips put together :] nothing beats a good oven roasted chunky chip
