Home Made Chips
Ingredients
•
4 large potatoes
•
1-2 tbsp. cooking oil
•
Salt/Pepper to taste
Method
1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks of equal size. Depending on how thick
you cut your potatoes, you can vary between potato wedges and thick or thin chips.
The thicker the potatoes are cut, the longer the cooking time.
2. Thoroughly wash the potatoes with cold, clear water to remove any excess starch
and then dry them off. The less moisture is present, the crispier the chips will
become.
3. Add 1-2 tbsp. of oil to the potatoes and mix together. It is not essential to add oil.
However, adding oil will make the chips crispier and give them a more enhanced
flavor.
4. Place the sliced potato chips into the rotating basket.
5. Insert the rotating basket into the cooking space.
6.
Start the “Chips” programme.
7.
Press the “Rotating” button to activate the rotating function.
8. The chips are cooked when they are golden brown. Reduce the temperature if
necessary if the chips start to get too dark. If they are not cooked after the end of
the programme, extend the cooking time and adjust the temperature if necessary.
Tips
•
Mix your favourite herbs and spices into the oil before adding it. This will allow you
to prepare tasty curry or paprika flavoured chips.
•
Use waxy potatoes. Young potatoes contain more water and therefore take longer
to cook and it is possible that they may not go as crispy.
•
Pre-boiled potatoes will cook more evenly. Cut the potatoes into small sticks and
pre-boil them for around five minutes. This will prevent the chips from being crispy
on the outside but not fully cooked on the inside.
•
If you want to prepare frozen chips, there is no need to add any oil.
