I have no idea abouot freezing them but thanks for the recipe..what a brill idea cooking them in stock! I assume just a couple of chicken oxo cubes would do?

I usually use an oxo veg cube for the stock as OH has turned veggie in the past 6mths. Normally I use one cube for the stock, but two will work too - actually I might try that next time and see how it adds to the flavour. In the past I've used whatever stock cubes I have had to hand, which I'm sure has included chicken, and has deff inlcuded an oxo 'indian' spices cube as well - happened to have them in the cupboard and had no idea what to use them for...actually turned out that it gave the chips a nice little kick

At present I also only have extra vigin olive oil to hand so I've been using this to coat the chips - Jamie O might suggest it's a bit frivilous, but actually it gives them quite a nice flavour.

As a comparison, we had these chips and breaded haddock for dinner last night with beans. It worked out at £1.40 for two people, verus the last trip to the chippy which was £18 :eek: and OH said the greasy fish from the chip shop made him feel icky last time.

yes they freeze absolutely fine - take about 45 mins in the oven from frozen.

oh i can't wait to give them a go! I'm not a big chip eater but I like proper chips and my middle son doesn't like potatoes at all but he seemed to like homemade fries so maybe he will also like these

This is no doubts a daft question (I'm an expert at those ) , but do you freeze after stage 3 of that recipie and do you then defrost them before doing stage 4 or just chuck in the frozen chips to the bag ?

Cheers

Freeze after parboiling and cook from frozen. I use spray oil so sorry have no idea about oiling in the bag before freezing.

Ive made these recently and everyone loved them.

I cut them into a chip basket then boiled them for a few minutes - saves using a collander. I did a few squirts of spray oil in a bag then put the chips in ( do portion sizes then you can just remove one bag at a time) giving them a little shake - but not much or they break up. Seal the bag then freeze. Ready made portion of chips to cook.

Just a wee reminder not to cook them thoroughly here. Give them a shorter time in the oven, say about 15-20 mins. Flat freeze on baking tray in freezer - when cooled down, then you can bag and tag them. Saves them getting all stuck together. You can then cook from frozen, depending on size of your chips/wedges, give them about 20-30 mins, turning as you would normally do for shop bought stuff.

Brilliant idea! Love it :T

I am thinking of making my own oven chips and then freezing them so I need advice on how to make them and how to freeze them. Thanks
