The mighty chip

I cooked myself some wonderful home made chips in the oven.  I used Maris Piper potatoes, and weighed out 220g.  Normally I would parboil for 5 mins, but instead, I put them in the microwave for a minute.  Then I coated the potatoes in one teaspoon (yes, that's all I needed) of olive oil (any oil will do) and sprinkled with salt.  These went into the oven to cook for 25 minutes on 200 degrees.

At just 230 calories - this is where my home made chip wins.  That's 230 calories for 220g of potato.  Looking on the back of a pack of oven chips, I can have 135g of chips for 220 calories.  The beauty of making these yourself is that a) they taste brilliant, b) you can have more c) you know the ingredients being used and best of all d) they are so cheap to make!!
