OVEN-ROASTED CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Peel the potatoes and cut them into long chip shapes - the thickness is entirely up to you, though the width of a finger is ideal. Rinse under the cold tap and pat dry with a tea towel.
• Spread the chips on a large non-stick baking tray and toss with the olive oil and celery salt. Lie them flat 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.

CHUNKY OVEN CHIPS

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.

OVEN BAKED FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Breheat oven to 220 degrees Celsius Blanch potatoes by putting them in a large pan of salted water and bring to boil. Drain well.

• Meanwhile, prepare the fish. Mix together the breadcrumbs, cornmeal, and paprika in a bowl. Dip haddock or cod fillets into the flour, shake well to remove excess, then into egg white, and finally into the crum mixture until evenly coated.
• Place on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Cook 12-15 minutes until cooked through and golden. Serve with chips.

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.

POTATO CHIPS

• Pour the vegetable oil into a plastic bag (a produce bag works well). Add the potato slices, and shake to coat.
• Coat a large dinner plate lightly with oil or cooking spray. Arrange potato slices in a single layer on the dish.
• Cook in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned (if not browned, they will not become crisp). Times will vary depending on the power of your microwave. Remove chips from plate, and toss with salt (or other seasonings). Let cool. Repeat process with the remaining potato slices. You will not need to keep oiling the plate.

OVEN-ROASTED CHUNKY CHIPS

Steps:

• First wash the potatoes very thoroughly, then dry in a clean tea cloth - they need to be as dry as possible; if they're ready-washed, just wipe them with kitchen paper. Leaving the peel on, slice them in half lengthways and then cut them again lengthways into chunky wedges approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Dry them again in a cloth, then place them in a large bowl with the oil and a sprinkling of salt. Now toss them around a few times to get them well covered with the oil, then spread them out on the baking tray and place in the oven on a high shelf to roast for about 30 minutes. They should be golden brown and crisp after this time; if not, give them a few more minutes. Finely sprinkle with a little more salt, then serve absolutely immediately.

• 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 sliced potatoes with the 1tbsp of cornflour and transfer to the oiled baking tray.
• Sprinkle with the 1tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and 1/2 tsp paprika, then drizzle on the rest of the oil (3 tbsp).

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.

BAKED FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F using the convection setting, if available. Place a baking sheet on one of the racks to preheat.
• Prepare the chips: Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick sticks. Toss with the olive oil and cayenne in a bowl. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven, add the potatoes and spread in an even layer. Use a rubber spatula to scrape any oil from the bowl over the potatoes. Bake on the top oven rack, turning once, until browned and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes. Season with salt.
• Meanwhile, make the fish: Set a wire rack on a baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. Lightly crush the cereal in a bowl with your fingers. Add 2 teaspoons salt, and black pepper to taste. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites and a pinch of salt until frothy.
• Dip the fish in the egg whites, then roll in the cereal crumbs to coat. Place the fish pieces on the rack (position them on their sides so that the majority of the crust is exposed) and mist with cooking spray.
• Bake the fish on the bottom oven rack until crisp and just cooked through, about 12 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve the fish and chips with tartar sauce and/or malt vinegar, if desired.
