Egg and Chips

Kellylea

I love egg and chips and only rediscovered this when i was on slimming world.

The way I make my chips is to peel and cut potatos into chips, boil em then rough them up by shaking the pan loads. Tip them onto a baking tray and bake in he oven on full for about an hour tossing occasionaly. Then towards the end crack a few eggs over the top and pop back in the oven until the egg's are cooked to your liking.

Loads and loads of salt and vinegar and I've even tried it with loads of mushy peas for that chip shop feel! FYI totally syn free on slimming world green day!

I'm northern, Lancashire first then darn sarf for a bit then back up to Yorkshire.

Lancashire

Chips, egg, barm cake, scraps, scallops, gravy, warbutons bread if not barm cake, Hollands pies, vinegar on first THEN salt.

South

Chips.:(

Yorkshire

Chips, egg, bread cake, pattie, gravy, warbutons bread or mothers pride.


At school I ate loads of sweets and crisps, chippy at dinnertime, bag of chips and scraps, can of pop and then usually chips and something for tea, if I went out with my friends we sometimes got a bag of chips to share.

Those days I was a size 8/10 and had more energy than I knew what to do with.:rotfl:

These days I rarely have chips, certainly not from a deep fat fryer, I've clearly listened too much to the food police.....but I'm nowhere near a 8/10, more like 14/16.....but I'm going to make a proper tea tonight, egg and chips in the fryer, with Warbutons, no added fibre, no olive oil, no low fat, spread, with a good glopping of vinegar and loads of salt.

My eggs will be free range though.:rotfl:

Thanks for this thread OP, I've loved reading it and the 'recipe' is just classic.:rotfl::T:T:T

Sorry to bump this back up, but guess what we're having for dinner? Fish, chips, mushy peas and buttered slices of sainsbo white batch-cooked loaf... With ketchup. French bf has never had chip butties before and I think is slightly scared

I'm a softy southerner living up north. Got the oven chips in the oven now (also too scared to cook real ones like my mum did), no white sliced bread but have got a nice fresh oven bottom muffin slathered in butter, yum yum.

Its ketchup all the way with me, cannot eat eggs without it.

It was always dinner and tea, now its lunch and tea unless I'm at home. My mum can still make mean chips except she can't be bothered, think we have managed to bug her into it a couple of times over the last 20 years.

She used to put pearl barley in stew as well to make it go further - bleurgh1
