Nope....cant stand oven chips.......potato 'fingers' roasted in an oven :Doh:

and as for the amount of gas to run an RV oven, cheaper to get chips delivered from the chippy by taxi :Eeek:

certainly will Carol.

could have been the potato variety you used.
we found some varieties don't brown off in the 2000w frier at home

You can't beat proper chips but my wife won't let me have them:Sad:

I have oven chips at home but I am not sure our Motorhome oven gets hot enough to get them right.

Nice find John ...

I'm with you, can't stand oven chips.. should be banned or at least renamed oven potato sticks.. 'orrible things.

I use a larger s/s jobbie in the house and could do with a smaller one for doing chips while I do the deep fried cod in batter ....mmmmmm ..

As to the question raised about browning ..

only use 'chipping' potatoes.. I use either King Eddies, or Maris Pipers..

cook the chips for about 6 / 7 mins at a moderate heat, just until soft .. then lift the basket out, turn up the heat to max and wait until the oil is really hot then dunk the chips back in until golden and crisp

Frozen deep frying chips are also naff ..

best way Jim :thumb:

Shirl does them this way at home or if we fancy 'Chinese takeaway' chips, just let the oil reheat at the same temperature and stick 'em in again for a few minutes....then do it again and serve.

limp, just like Chinese chips, and darker golden.

frozen American style 'skinny' chips are quite nice but regular frozen are

I thought they were called electric heart attack creators :ROFLMAO:

Dont like oven chips so much myself, but got a real taste for the spicy potato wedges you can get.

As for chips not browning in a DFF, its all down to temperature and the starch and sugars in the potato. My dear old mum was a chef and apparently its a chemical reaction, not scorching, which takes a minimum temperature to achieve. Mind you, when I was growing up it was proper chips cooked in a gallon of real lard. None of these fancy oils were popular back then :ROFLMAO:

At a recent "landmark" birthday party I decided to try a deep fried battered mars bar...I also got some mini milky ways and marathons ect.

Most of the family and friends who were there for the event thought it was going to be really naff.....but most of us were suprised how great they tasted and not as sickly as we had imagined.

So give them a go.............I doubt you will be having them every week
but its one of lifes experiences you should have a go at !!!!

As I am not allowed to fry chips at home I have to go out and get them. Chippy chips are usually soggy and horrid so it has to be a good pub or restaurant (I hear that they are very good at that place of Heston's in Bray, perhaps one of the members of here could let me know?). Any way if you want really good chips apparently the way to do it is double frying at 2 different temperatures, once cooler to cook them and then full wammy for the crisp outside (Heston has some weird way of doing it I think he uses dry ice somewhere or is that just for ice cream?):thumb:

Best chips down our way is the Dolphin Fish bar. Trouble is the best fish is the Bamboo Garden at the other end of the road. Makes getting Fish&Chips a bit of a fuss.:Smile:
