Low syn- calculate syns (for Slimming World) based on how many sprays of oil or low calorie cooking spray you are using.
Ingredients
- 1kg potatoes (a floury variety like Maris Piper), peeled
- Spray oil (I use olive oil or cold pressed rapeseed) or low calorie cooking spray- see notes above
Instructions
1. Prepare the potatoes
o Peel (if desired) and cut into evenly sized chips or fries, about 1cm thick for even cooking.
2. Parboil the chips
o Place the cut chips into a large pan of cold water.
o Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
o Drain and allow to cool completely, either in a colander or spread out on a flat surface.
3. Coat lightly with oil
o Lightly spray the cooled chips with oil, tossing to coat evenly.
o You can use a low-calorie cooking spray for oven cooking, but avoid it for air frying.
4. Freeze the chips
o Divide into portion-sized freezer bags.
o Lay the bag flat, spread the chips into a single layer, remove excess air, and seal.
o Freeze flat for easy storage and to prevent sticking.
