Chunky Oven Chips

CHIPS!!!!! Who doesn’t love them?!   Deep fried chips are great, but they do end up leaving the kitchen a bit smelly for a few days.   We’ve tried many variations of oven chips over the years and we’ve never been that impressed…until now!

We found this recipe  for chunky oven chips by Gordon Ramsay on BBC Good Food and you really wouldn’t know that they’ve been cooked in the oven.  The chips are much healthier and the kitchen is definitely less smelly so what’s not to love!?!

Tip

Try them seasoned with paprika or cajun spices…or any other seasonings you fancy, as well as salt and pepper, to change it up a bit.

Ingredients

• 750g potatoes – about 3 medium/large
• 1 tbsp groundnut or rapeseed oil
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
• additional seasoning of your choice (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 230C fan.
2. Peel the potatoes if you wish, but we like to leave the skins on.   Cut each potato into 1 cm wide slices, then into 1 cm sticks.
3. Blanch in a large pan of boiling salted water for 3 minutes, then drain well.
4. Return the potatoes to the pan and drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper, and the additional seasoning (if using). Toss together to ensure each chip is evenly coated.
5. Shake the potatoes out onto a roasting tin and spread out evenly.
6. Bake for 25 minutes in the oven, turning the potatoes at least twice, until golden brown and crisp.
7. Enjoy!
