Easy Oven Chips

Ingredients

• 800g Potatoes, peeled, cut into 1cm sticks
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt

You’ll need: 2 baking trays

Method

1. 1

   Put the chips in a large bowl, cover with cold water and soak for 20 minutes. Soaking removes surface starch so they crisp.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, heat the oven to 210°C fan (230°C conventional) and put 2 lined baking trays in to heat.

3. 3

   Drain the chips and dry thoroughly with a clean tea towel. Wet chips will steam, not crisp.

4. 4

   Toss with the oil and salt. Spread over the hot trays in a single layer, leaving gaps.

5. 5

   Bake for 30–35 minutes, turning once halfway, until golden and crisp. Serve straight away.
