Hot chips, or fries, are Harry’s absolute favourite food. If he so much as sniffs them out walking past a cafe I am in for trouble. Take-away chips really aren’t an option for him, so making a good version of my own was a must. They aren’t hard to make, are all natural,have no added salt, and take half the time of most store-bought frozen chips.

If your kids love chips too, you can also try our Vegetable Polenta Chips for a change. They also go really well with our Popcorn Chicken or Fish Fingers.

Nutrition Note: Using both potato and sweet potato gives you added variety of important nutrients, antioxidants and flavour.

• 1/4 sweet potato
• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Step 2

Peel the potato and sweet potato. Use a mandolin on the fries setting or cut into thin strips to make your fries. (Aim for thin chips, around 5mm). -

Step 3

Place the potato in a bowl and pour over the oil. Toss to coat. You can add other herbs here such as parsley, chives, rosemary or even garlic. -

Step 4

Place in the oven for around 20 minutes, you can turn half way for a crispier all round chip. -
