The Best Oven Chips
When it comes to comfort food you can't beat oven chips. This recipe for my best oven chips is salty, crispy and just delicious.
Ingredients
- 1.2 kg Floury Potatoes maris piper or desirée work best
- 2 Tablespoons Plain Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Sunflower Oil
Instructions
- 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.
