Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I very rarely cook chips in the house as I prefer a more nutritious diet and usually only get them from the chippy (backwards hillbillys please note that I did not say 'chipper'). However, when I do cook them I usually just stick them in the oven for 15-20 mins or whatever it says on the pack. In the pub on Thursday, a mate was telling me a story about how jamamafegan had come to his house and filled a pot with olive oil or vegetable oil and cooked chips in it. We all agreed this was absolutely bizarre behaviour but he seemed to think it was normal to cook chips in a pot of oil in your house. I have never heard of this happening outside of the pre-war era. Please confirm to him that this is mental behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Parboiling them then doing them in the oven covered in some olive oil and salt is the correct answer. Obviously chip pan ones taste good too, but I don't have one in the house, because I'm not a tramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Only utter rats have a deep fat fryer these days. And probably awful yellowing and peeling wallpaper in the kitchen, greasy glasses and a low life expectancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Cooking chips in oil - takes less than 5 minutes. Cooking chips in oven - takes 15-20 minutes. Personally, I would use the method that takes less time to cook so I can eat my chips sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Put the chipped potatos in cold water for about fifteen minutes before taking them out and drying them (takes the starch out). Then fry with a little oil for about five minutes before placing in the oven on a high heat with more olive oil. Check and turn them every five minutes for aprox 30 minutes. Amazing chips, go perfectly with a nice medium-rare rib steak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nearly an hour you've taken to cook them. What we're talking about here is straight up getting big handful of chips, throwing them in a pot of oil and cooking them.

In that case, oven for fifteen minutes before an evening of regret for not putting that effort into making nicer chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaldo Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Stick a pile of frozen chips on a tray and slam it in the oven for 20-25 minutes, you bunch of posh c***s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Skidmarks Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Frozen chips in any form, are vile. I haven't seen a chip pan, let alone used one in years. I assumed they were only used by arsonists and the unemployable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 When you say 'a little oil', how much is a little? We talking tablespoons? One table spoon for the frying, about six for the oven stage. I used leftover goose fat once (basically being lazy and forgetting to clean the baking tray so just going with the residue). They were pretty amazing but I could feel my arteries clogging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addie Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I have done thin actually. I tend to put veg oil into a deep wok and after the chips have been parboiled and then dried I stick them into the wok. A bit strange perhaps but the chips always come out fine. The type of tattie used is important too - I prefer the Albert Bartlet tatties for chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
