Homemade Crispy Oven Chips Recipes

HOMEMADE OVEN CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven into 200C/400F
• Brush a large metal non-stick baking tray with 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil. If your tray isn't non-stick, line the tray with non-stick foil instead. (*tip 1)
• Cut the potatoes into 1 cm (about 3/8 of an inch) thick slices (no need to peel).
• 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).
• Toss everything together with your hands so the fries are fully coated in the oil and arrange the chips in a single layer. Try to ensure they're not touching too much.
• Cover the tray in a piece of foil that's been greased with a little vegetable oil.
• Place in the oven for 10 minutes, then remove the foil and cook for a further 10 minutes.
• Turn the fries over using a spatula and cook for a final 5-10 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
• Transfer to a serving dish and serve.

PARMESAN CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pour a heaping tablespoon of Parmesan onto a silicone or parchment lined baking sheet and lightly pat down. A silicone baking sheet is highly recommended. Repeat with the remaining cheese, spacing the spoonfuls about a 1/2 inch apart.
• Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden and crisp. Cool.

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.

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.
