Yum! I've been looking to a better alternative for the kids than packaged food, these are great. I let them boil for a few minutes int he pot before I drained them though, they cooked a little faster in the oven then :)

Chips always seem to come out a little soggy this way. I reckon I've invented the best way to do home made fries... best way of retaining nutrient too! Take medium sized floury potatoes. Do not cut into chip shapes! The fact that you leave the skin on and don't slice means water doesn't enter potato and saturate it when par-boiled. Put into salted boiling water. Keep simmering around 8mins (so exterior just starts to give). Turn off and leave in the water around 20mins. Drain and leave in colander around 10mins... just enough time so that you can hold the tatties without burning your hands. Place tatties on board and drag off skin with a butter knife. You'll be amazed at how little potato flesh you lose (and therefore nutrient content - most of which lies in and under the skin). Now you can cut to chip shape. From there on cook on tray with a bit of oil... just like you're doing roast potatoes. Easy, fluffy, crispy chips. Like I say, I've tried Nigella (and Ramsey does a similar idea). They're never quite right. I've tried Heston's (and that's too much effort - and you need a fryer). My method keeps more nutrient in the potato and it brings the best result. Happy cooking... Benny

Just trying this now although I only have sunflower oil. Surely has to be healthier than chip shop bought though, lol.

Having never really needing to know how to cook, I've never really bothered learning. But recently I've took a really big interest in it, I'm obsessed with the food channels. My first meal I cooked I used this recipe and I was impressed with how simple and how beautiful they tasted. I added pepper to mine and they were delicious. My mom and dad were impressed with the whole meal the chips being the best part, and I've now been put on cooking duty :). Perfect recipe, great taste, simple instructions.. Hard to go wrong.

Tried several times now and just a great healthy alternative to chips bought at the supermarket or from the local chip shop. The best part of this recipy is the end product is also 100% better tasting than bought chips....Thank you Nigella our family is converted back to the humble yet beautiful natural potato.
