We have our airfryer for this reason! It does the most amazing chips without the oil

Hope you have had success with your chips.

Dry potato chips with absorbent paper I also heat tray in oven before putting the chips in

Aww I think the fan in the oven helps. We have a fan oven.

Have you thought about an air fryer?

Make sure they are spread out on baking paper; then they should cook evenly.

You do have to part cook them first and then do them in the oven also make sure the oven is preheated

To oven bake chops you must par boil them first. Other options are to slice really thin using a mandolin, put potato in a bag with oil and seasoning, then lay out on baking tray and put in oven. We now use an actifry which is wonderful, it gives really great results as it is turning them whilst cooking.

They always taste horrible and dry so I bought an airfryer from Aldi. Taste like fish & chip shop chips.

I found the same thing ,so I now slice mine thin like the packet potato chips and cook them in coconut oil in my fry pan than sprinkle with herbamare. And the kids love them

I always make oven baked chips and they come great.
What i do is par boil the chips in the microwave. Maybe for 5-10 minutes. They should be fairly hard still you should be able to pierce a fork through them without them breaking apart. Then i drain them and pat try with paper towel. Then i coat in a couple of Tablespoons of oil. Then bake for 45 minutes. They will come really nice and crunchy!

I always cut my potatoes peel on or off up to you and then slightly par cool them in the microwave. Then in the a freezer bag I put about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and some taco seasoning, then go in the drained potatoes and give them a good mix around. Then I pop them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and cook at about
180C until nicely browned. Time depends on how big your chips are but generally about 20 mins.

Turning them so all sides have a nice crisp or use and airfryer, they are awesome for chips

have you tried par boiling and patting dry so they take the oil

Oh excellent ideas here, and lots of things to try – maybe there is hope after all and I can cook nice chips! Many thanks!

I cut mine into wedges roll them in Garlic oil and spices.
Have oven on at 180 degrees.
Back for 30-45 minutes
What you could do it put them in microwave for 1-2 minutes 1st to help them cook right through or use the grill instead of the oven and turn them over every 10 minutes as I do this if just got 1 home for the day and wants chips/ wedges

I cook mine for 45 minutes and turn them at 15 and 30 mins to ensure they are cooking right through.
My kids also love potato cubes as an alternative to chips and I think they are easier to get right – we coat them in olive oil and Italian herbs or spices and again cook for 45 minutes. As they are already coated with flavouring nobody is reaching for the sauce bottle either which has to be healthier!

Cut your chips up quite chunky and I recommend using coconut oil. sprinkle with salt.
Because you don’t have a fan, start off on a low heat which will cook the inside of your chips, do this for about half hour and then crank up your oven to a high heat (about 200) to the cook the outside and make them crunchy to your liking. Good luck

Have you tried part-boiling your potatoes until they are just half cooked? Then cut them into chip shapes and coat them with olive oil and salt. Your oven will need to very hot to get a crisp chip. As you don’t have a fan, you will need to turn your chip tray while they are cooking to spread the heat evenly. Also heating your tray before you start might help too. Good luck, I hope this helps.
