To make homemade oven chips...
Cut potatoes lengthwise into 1cm-thick slices, then cut each slice lengthwise into 1cm-thick chips. Place the chips in a large bowl of cold water and set aside for one hour (or place in the fridge for up to eight hours). Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6. Place 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large baking dish and place in the oven while it preheats. Transfer the chips to a pot of salted boiling water and cook for 5-6 minutes until just barely tender. Drain well, then return the pan to the hot hob. Allow the chips to steam dry for 1-2 minutes, shaking the pan vigorously every 20 seconds. Carefully transfer the chips into the hot oil. Toss to coat and spread out in a single layer. Season generously and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and crunchy. Serve hot.
