I know its pretty much straight forward but just wondering what to coat the potatoes with other than oil to season them??

I always bake chips to make them healthier and they also turn out great.

Chop up spuds and put them in a bowl. Whack this in the microwave for 5 mins on high to get the spuds hot all the way through - this saves 10 mins cooking time. Remove from microwave and coat lightly with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Put on a baking tray in a single layer and cook on 180 - 200 degrees for 20 mins until golden and yummy.

Susie Q's post is about the same way as i make mine. Sometimes i add a dash of cayenne pepper for added flavour, either when seasoning, or when you take them out of the oven, WIN!!!!!

Meh. Peel, slice to chips, par-boil, drain and cool, fry at 160, drain and cool, fry at 180, drain and salt and serve.
Who needs flavorings?

I always find that the longeer you leave your chips to soak in cold water the better-takes a lot of starch out and they cook better.

I seem to recall too, that par cooking chips and then leaving them to sit before cooking again results in crisper chips, but i think thats more for deep frying than oven baking.

Similar to some other posts:

* Soak in cold water to remove starch
* Cut up trying to keep them fairly equal in size
* Par Boil for 10 mins
* Out of the pot and onto some kitchen paper to dry them off
* Into the deep fat fryer at 190C until golden (circa 5 mins)
* Out of deep fat fryer and onto kitchen paper. Salt them immediately

We usually use Roosters - I think sometimes the quality of the Roosters can vary and the chips can vary as a result.

Turn on oven to 220C
Chop up spuds and steam until tender (10 mins)
Put chips in oven, approx 30 mins, until they crisp up.
Eat.

Dagnabbit, I knew I forgot a step!

Before they come out of the steamer basket I give them a good toss with some oil, both to coat them and to roughen them up so they go crispy.
