"Oh and oven chips. I make my own oven chips...the kids prefer them to frozen and they are dead easy...and healthier Ooh. Do tell, recipe please ![]() Potatoes....and i use a drizzle of olive oil. It's that simple!...Brush a baking sheet with oil and Heat in the oven for a few minutesl while you prep the potatoes. I leave the skin on and cut into chip Shape then wash in cold water, drain and dry. Then coat in a small amount of oil..i add salt and pepper at this stage but you can leave that out. Then Bung them in the oven. I can't really advise on temperature or time as my oven is knackered and cooks everything way hotter than normal...but in my oven they take about 20-25 mins turning once, at about 180°c | |||

"Oh and the easiest I can do pastry is spelling it. You'd need a pneumatic drill to eat mine ![]() I cook a lot, it's something I find incredibly relaxing. Meatballs in a rich tomato sauce are in the slow cookery, home made chocolates and fudge in the dining room. Although I can and have made pastry of various types over the years, personally I think life's too short (not short crust before anyone chips in) to do so. Along with making pasta, noodles and bread.
