    Anyone got any good recipes for them? I used a Donal Skehan recipe the last couple of times and although tasty, they either char too much or else stay all soggy! I can't get them crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

    Any recommendations would be great! :)

    I just use the same technique as for regular potatoes: parboil for a few minutes (makes it soft on the inside), dry thoroughly, coat with olive oil (makes it crispy on the outside) and seasoning, and bake.

    To your own tastes, I suppose. I like my chips thicker than the average.
