a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).
b) Pop the chips onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
c) When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.
a) Meanwhile, pat the basa with kitchen paper to remove any excess moisture.
