All it's got to do is get hot & lift the chips out. What do you think?

Oven chips are far healthier anyway.

Aren't the ultra low fat air fryers healthier still?


I think Lidl are doing one for 50 quid. Tempted to give it a try.


The Tefal one slowly 'tumbles' the chips with a rotating scoop to ensure
even coating and cooking, it works very well but is expensive. I don't
think the cheaper ones do this.

Apart from using much less oil, it's better than deep frying because you
can add things, for example, a sprig of rosemary, black pepper or a good
pinch of smoked paprika, even some Parmesan towards the end. All this
gets tumbled around with the chips. I like to crinkle cut the chips, or
if the spuds are small, make them more like Tapas.

Because the tablespoon of oil is only used once, you can use just about
any type. For me, it's usually either grapeseed oil for crispness or a
50/50 mix of olive and chilli oil for flavour.


First press rapeseed oil (doesn't spit as much, apparently), dash of
chili oil, microwave covered for up to 5 minutes, oven for 15 minutes,
turning once.
