OVEN-ROASTED CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Peel the potatoes and cut them into long chip shapes - the thickness is entirely up to you, though the width of a finger is ideal. Rinse under the cold tap and pat dry with a tea towel.
• Spread the chips on a large non-stick baking tray and toss with the olive oil and celery salt. Lie them flat in a single layer - use two trays rather than overcrowd one.
• Roast for 45-50 mins, turning now and then. When cooked they should be golden brown and crisp with a light fluffy centre. Scatter on sea salt to serve.

CHUNKY OVEN CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to its highest setting, ideally 250C/fan 230C/gas 9. Cut each potato into 1cm-wide slices, then into 1cm-thick sticks. Blanch in a large pan of boiling water for 3 mins, then drain well.
• Shake the potatoes out onto a roasting pan, drizzle with oil, ensuring each chip is evenly coated, then season well. Bake for about 15-20 mins, turning the potatoes at least twice, until golden brown and crisp.
