These chunky oven chips are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside - the perfect homemade alternative to deep-fried chips. Ideal as a side or snack with your favourite dips!
We LOVE chips...and deep fried chips are great, but they do end up leaving the kitchen a bit smelly for a few days. We've tried many variations of oven chips over the years and we've never been that impressed…until now!
We found this recipe for chunky oven chips by Gordon Ramsay on BBC Good Food and you really wouldn't know that they've been cooked in the oven. The chips are much healthier and the kitchen is definitely less smelly so what's not to love!?!
Tips
- Seasonings - try spices like paprika, cayenne, cajun or chipotle. Try garnishing with rosemary, thyme or parsley once the chips are cooked. For cheesy garlic chips, toss the cooked chips in grated parmesan and garlic butter.
- This chunky oven chips recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes - preheat your air fryer at 200C for 5 minutes and cook in a single layer for 20 to 25 mins, shaking halfway through.
Most likely reasons - too much oil, overcrowding the tray (steam softens them), or low oven temperature.
Yes - slice the potatoes into chips and place in a large bowl of cold water. Store them in the fridge until you're ready to blanch then roast them.

Parboil the chips for 5 to 7 minutes, drain well, then rough them up in the pan before roasting.
