HM Frozen chips??

Options
Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if you can make chips and then freeze? My OH is obsessed with chips for nearly every meal, and whilst I am trying to wean him off, I am a bit partial too :drool: !

I was thinking of part cooking (in the fryer??) then freezing and just popping in the fryer for five minutes or so to finish them off. I usually alternate between making them myself and using a bag of shop bought frozen chips.

    I couldn't find a reference on the web but I really don't see why not; though if you're going to have to get the fryer out to finish them off you might as well just cook them from scratch anyway? No? :)

    Or were you thinking of part frying a big batch and then oven cooking your extras some time later?

  • HM fried chips are best done with a double fry anyway, so yes, I think a quick 5 minute fry then freezing them on an open tray would probably work well! :)
