BEST EVER OVEN CHIPS

Steps:

• Trim all the rounded edges off the potatoes to make a rectangular block, then cut this into thick batons (save any offcuts to make mash). Drop into a pan of cold salted water with the vinegar and bring to the boil. Simmer for 6-8 mins until the potatoes are just cooked and tender - test with the tip of a knife. Drain carefully, trying not to break any of the chips, and leave to cool completely. Can be prepared up to two days ahead and chilled until needed.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 9. Pour the oil into a sturdy, rimmed baking tray or shallow roasting tin and heat in the oven. Mix the flours with the baking powder, cayenne and some salt in a shallow dish and gently toss the chips in the floury mixture to coat, then leave in the mixture until needed.
• Carefully remove the pan from the oven - the oil should be shimmering - and lay the chips in a single layer in the pan. Use a thin, flexible spatula to gently turn the chips so they are all coated, then roast for 20 mins. Turn the chips again, then roast for another 10 minutes. Turn one final time, then cook for a futher 10 minutes until crisp and deep golden all over. Drain the chips onto kitchen paper and serve straight away.

ULTIMATE OVEN CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Peel the potatoes and chop into medium-sized chips. Rinse under cold running water, then tip into a large pan, cover with cold salted water, add the vinegar and bring to a simmer over a medium heat. Stir once, then continue to simmer for about 6-8 mins until the chips are just cooked through but not breaking apart. Drain well.
• Add the oil to a shallow roasting tin and put in the oven to heat for 5 mins. Toss the chips in the cornflour, then carefully tip into the hot oil and arrange in a single layer using tongs. Drizzle with a little more oil to coat, then roast for 20 mins.
• Carefully turn the chips over in the oil using a spatula, then return to the oven for another 20 mins until golden brown.

OVEN CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to highest temperature, generally 240 degrees Celsius.
• Lightly oil a large shallow roasting tin and place it in the oven to get really hot while you prepare the potatoes.
• Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then into long thin wedges, or thicker ones if you prefer.
• Brush each side lightly with oil (or just pop them into a large bowl, pour some oil over and mix them around a few times to coat them).
• When the oven is really hot, remove the pan carefully and scatter the potato wedges over it, spreading them out in a single layer over the hot oil.
• Sprinkle the potato wedges with the herbs and salt and roast for about 20 minutes, or longer if they are thicker.
• They will be ready when they are golden brown, crisp and lightly puffy.
• Remove from oven and serve with a dollop of mayonnaise.

THE BEST OVEN CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to the highest setting that it will go to, in my case this was 250˚c (fan oven).
• Chop the 1.2kg of potatoes into 1/2 inch chips.
• Place the chopped potatoes into a large saucepan. Cover the potatoes with water and salt heavily. Cover and bring the pan to the boil, then cook the potatoes for 1 minute.
• Drain the potatoes into a colander and cover with the 2 tablespoons of flour. Vigorously shake and toss the potatoes in the colander until the flour has evenly coated the chips and the potatoes have a slightly "fluffy" exterior.
• Pour the 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil onto a large baking tray and place into the oven for 5 minutes or until the oil is smoking hot.
• Remove the tray from the oven and tip the prepared potato slices onto the hot oil. Turn the potatoes to coat them in the oil, season with a generous amount of salt and place the tray back into the oven. Roast for 20 - 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

HOMEMADE OVEN CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220 degrees celcius.
• Cut the potatoes into thick chips. Plunge into a pan contaning the boiling stock and cook for 5 minutes, until just tender.
• Drain in a colander. Allow to cool slightly.
• Put the oil in a plastic food boc and CAREFULLY toss the chips in the oil.
• Transfer the chips to a lightly greased baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes, turning them once or twice, until golden and crisp. Sprinkle with paprika or salt to serve.
