Chips & cholestrol ?

I've cooked them in olive oil and they're just the same! That way you can be reducing cholesterol.

We use the 'Home Fry' oven chips, they don't taste like oven chips usually do. They are quite pricey though.

I cut out thick chips, par-boil them and dry with kitchen towel, spray the hot tray with light olive oil and put the chips on the tray. A couple of oil sprays on top, sprinkle some rock salt, black pepper and lemon chilli powder and bake. I have to have chillis with everything!! YUM - I know what I am having for dinner tonight.

Chips cooked in vegetable oil (the olive oil suggestion is excellent) do not contain cholesterol - because potatoes don't.

It's the chips we buy in fast food outlets that are cooked in animal fat, and therefore their cholesterol content soars. I have read that some chains use beef fat and others pig fat! Yuck!

Potatoes don't but almost all fat has cholesterol, not just animal fats. Actually, very few percentage in the south use animal fats. Most of them use palm oil or something similar. It's when you go north and have a real fish and chips that they're done in animal fats, makes them very yummy indeed!!

I use the par-boil then oil spray methods above and they work brilliantly!
