There’s something really comforting about being able to tuck into a plate of chips, and surprisingly enough you can still eat them when doing Slimming World – just as long as they’re low fat!
Preparing these chips is easy, whichever method you use, and the chips are syn-free!
You can use whatever potatoes you prefer, but I prefer Roosters or Maris Piper varieties.
Oven roast method
- Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
- Peel and chop your potatoes into chips about 1 cm by 1 cm, as really thin chips can break up too easily.
- Add to a pan of cold water, bring to the boil, and par-boil the chips for around 5 minutes.
- Drain, and roughen up the edges of the chips by tossing around in a colander for a few seconds.
- Pat dry with kitchen roll and transfer to a baking tray.
- Spray with Frylight (or another low-syn oil), and put the baking tray in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Take out the over, turn the chips over, spray again with Frylight, and roast for a further 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Season and serve.
Actifry method
This method has the advantage that you can miss out the par-boiling step.
- Peel and chop your potatoes into chips about 1 cm by 1 cm, as really thin chips can break up too easily.
- Place in Actifry, spray with Frylight (or another low-syn oil), and cook for the recommended time based on the weight of potatoes used and your model of air-fryer.
- About half way through cooking, open and spray again with Frylight.
- Season and serve.
