The “British” type of chips, douzed in malt vinegar and salt. Yummy!!! As much as I love them…the fat that they are fried in does not love me back and so whenever I have a hankering for a taste of chips, I make my own”low fat” chips by lightly drizzling cut potatoes with oil and baking them in a very very hot oven. This very simple recipe skimps on the fat and not on the taste.
You will need:
Potatoes, Oil and Paprika (that’s it). Oh and whatever you like to season your chips with.
Peel the potatoes (or leave the skin for a boost in fiber).
Cut the potatoes lengthwise
And then lengthwise again. (Like chips!)
Pat potatoes dry with paper towel
Lightly drizzle cut potatoes with oil
Sprinkle the oiled potatoes with paprika and toss until potatoes are evenly coated
Bake in a very hot oven of at least 400F (204C). If you like your chips crispy go up to about 500F (260F).
Cook for about 20-30 minutes. Season while hot (the potatoes absorb the flavors better while they are hot). Enjoy!
