Healthy eating week 8, healthy homemade chips for tea.

I am still on my healthy eating plan, i am into week 8. I had a bad day last week due to being snowed in,  we had no fresh food so had to have tea from the freezer but once my shopping arrived the next day we were back on it.

Thinking of meals can become hard when you fancy something naughty like home made chips.  Who said home made chips have to be naughty. 
You dont need to stick them into a pan off hot oil.  There is a way to have your chips and keep them healthy. 

I first cut the potatoes into chips then rinse. Add to a pan of hot water and pre-boil for 10 minutes.

Use a tray with sides, pour a little oil into the base and put in the oven to heat up.

When you hear the oil spitting add a small amount of oil to pan and heat up.

Whilst the oil is heating up strain the chips into a colander then shake to roughen the edges up.

Add the chips to the hot tray, sprinkle salt then pour over the oil in the pan.

Put back in the oven turning the chips every 15 minutes until brown and crispy.  Once cooked place chips on to some kitchen towel and use a separate piece to dab the chips.

You use so much less oil, they aren't greasy and taste gorgeous.  You can add different flavours to the chips whilst cooking,

I do sweet potato fries this way too! Both are yummy and not bad for you since they have a lot less oil.

Healthy eating does taste good. It is just the corporations that would like you to think that it is tasteless.
