Thick chips absorb less oil than thin ones, so chunkier chips are healthier. Chips are a very good source of vitamin C.

Preparation

Scrub 450-500g potatoes (preferably approx 200g in size), and cut into thick chunky chips.

Method

  1. Coat in 2-3 tbsp of sunflower or corn oil.
  2. Spread evenly onto a baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 45 minutes at 200°C/Gas Mark 6, turning at least once.
  4. Season to taste and serve immediately.

Tip

Sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of either chilli or curry powder over the chips before coating in the oil. If you prefer, peel the potatoes before cooking.
