Ingredients

  • 1 kg Potatoes
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 tsp Garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200c. Cut the potatoes into 1cm chip shapes. Line a baking sheet (see notes) and put the chips on. Sprinkle over the oil, garlic powder and salt and pepper.
  • Toss the potatoes so they are totally coated in the oil and the seasoning.
  • Bake for 45 mins. Flip and cook for another 10-15 minutes until cooked to your preferred level of crunchiness!

Notes

Baking tray: When adding to the baking tray, don’t overcrowd the chips or they might not go as crispy as you’d like and will take longer to cook
Type of potatoes: Maris Pipers or King Edwards are ideal, but any kind will also do. Perfect if they’ve been in your cupboard a little while too
Extra flavouring options: Chilli powder (1 tsp), smoked paprika (2 tsp) or onion powder (2 tsp)
How to cut the chips: I use this gadget - the KitchenCraft Potato Chipper. But if you’re chopping by hand, turn the potatoes lengthways, carefully cut into 1 cm slices and cut each slice into 1 cm strips
Peeling, soaking and parboiling: I don’t do any! Feel free to do these steps, but they are fine without
