Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg Maris Piper or King Edward potatoes peeled
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil or beef dripping
  • Salt

Method
 

  1. Cut potatoes into thick chips.
  2. Parboil 5–6 minutes.
  3. Drain, shake colander to rough up surface.
  4. Heat oil on a tray in the oven at 220°C / 200°C fan / Gas 7 for 5 minutes.
  5. Toss chips in hot oil on the tray.
  6. Roast 35–40 minutes, turning once or twice.
  7. Season with salt, serve immediately.

Notes

Parboiling before roasting is essential for a crisp result.
Roughing up the surface in the colander helps the chips crisp evenly.
Parboiled, unroasted chips freeze well for up to 3 months.
Avoid overcrowding the tray, or the chips will steam instead of crisping.
