Megann's Oven Baked Crunchy Chips

Ingredients

desired quantity of large potatoes
- peeled & cut into chip-like batons (saving the clean off cuts)
sea salt
pepper
olive oil

Method

Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Cut your desired quantity of peeled potatoes into large chip batons, placing into a bowl. Insert the clean potato off cuts into boiling water for approximately 10 minutes, or until very soft.
Drain into a sieve, then pass through that sieve into the bowl of chips with a kitchen spoon or spatula. Season with sea salt & pepper & toss to create a fine, fluffy coating for the potatoes. Once adequately coated, drizzle generously with olive oil & toss again.
Place onto prepared baking tray & bake in the oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until golden, turning once at the 30 minute mark.

Tips & Hints

Megann's Kitchen Notes :: I like to add another flavour dimension with finely chopped chives when coating the chips with the sieved potato. Another great way to flavour your chips and add some extra crunch is when turning them at the 30 minute mark, finely grate some parmesan cheese over the top of them. This makes a crunchy, cheesy, dry coating. Divine! :: I love to serve my potato chips in an individual bowl lined with baking paper with tomato ketchup and an old personal favourite, light sour cream. :: For more essential top Megann's Kitchen advice, follow onto the Megann's Kitchen web site at megannskitchen.blogspot.com.au ::
