Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Peel the potatoes and cut them into long chip shapes – the thickness is entirely up to you, though the width of a finger is ideal. Rinse under the cold tap and pat dry with a tea towel.

  • step 2

    Spread the chips on a large non-stick baking tray and toss with the olive oil and celery salt. Lie them flat in a single layer – use two trays rather than overcrowd one.

  • step 3

    Roast for 45-50 mins, turning now and then. When cooked they should be golden brown and crisp with a light fluffy centre. Scatter on sea salt to serve.

I cooked them for 45 minutes then took them out and added pink salt. They were very tasty. I wouldn't recommend adding salt at the start as it would dry them out.

Nothing like the colour shown. Used Maris Piper potatoes. After 45 mins the chips were barely 'golden' - a very unappetising yellow!
