Homemade chips??

[Ciara b]

Just wondering know how many pp woul be in some potatoes for chips craving some homemade chips?? x

1pp per 50g weight raw potato. I usually use around 200g for a few wedges on the side of my dinner if I'm craving it... yum.

Thanks girls. Guess what im having for dinner tonight now x

 

[Ciara b]

Oh yum sounds gr8 thanks a mill x

I weigh them after I've peeled them (assuming you're gonna peel them) because then I'm making sure I have my weights right . A tsp of oil over them is nice if you can bear to count the pp for it... or just use frylight spray lol! I make spicy wedges by putting some "all-season" spice mix over them too... mmm... craving carby wedges now x

I know and last wk my hubby had them (the dirty fried ones ) with steak for dinner and i was so proud not to give in , i never thought of doing them in the oven so will be looking forward to them tonight x x

Oh they are yummy in the oven.. give them 25 mins or so in a hot oven... lovely jubbly!!! I had "fish + chip" the other night and it only equated to 12pp... far cry from a takeaway propoints!

No i just put them in at 200 for about 20/25 mins. I sprayed them with frylite. They were gorgeous x

 

[Goose1]

Ps thats a great idea though. Will try that next time x x

 

[missk]

Thanks, as i only have chips once a week i just deep fat fry them along with the families, but i really should start putting mine in the oven, save a few pp.

Yes I parboil them for about 10 minutes usually, drain them and put a sprinkle of cayenne pepper on and a little salt and a spray of oil and leave for about 25 mins, turn them during this time and they are lovely.
