Chips

[Momo333]

How do you guys pp your chips done in a brevielle halo? Or in the oven or deep fat fryer, we are having steak and chips for dinner but am not sure how to point the chips. xx

[Momo333]

Yeah I usually have them as well,but fancied a proper chip

I have one of those health fryers u use 1tbsp of oil, I never use the full tbspn. It's frys up to 1kg of chips.

 

[Shez__x]

oh in that case suppose u have to just find out how many points raw potatoes are n then add ur point for ur oil

 

[Momo333]

Thank you. I thought it would of being pp like a baked potato x

 

[Shez__x]

yeah something around that area, although i find it hard to point a jacket spud so tend to not bother having one lol

I think a 200g baked potato is like 7 points. Really high!!!

 

[Shez__x]

yeah they are!

If you weigh your potato before you bake it, just use the rule 50g = 1pp then you don't need to weigh it again after it is cooked because the method of cooking does not add any calories. In the book for eating out etc the points are so high because baking a potato drains it of moisture and it ends up weighing less than it did when it went in, so when it went in it was probably 400g, which is where you would get your 7/8pp from. I hope this makes sense.

As for the breville halo fryers etc, I am not sure but if you do find out I would love to know
