"french fries"
I have tried repeatedly to make the oven-fried chips recipe and they
always come out NOT crisp. ANy ideas? Does the sort of potato matter? Would it help to soak them and drain them before cooking? Thanks, Nance |

I buy the frozen no fat added crinkle fries, then spray with Pam or similar,
and cook in a hot oven, Lee NANCI Lea wrote in message ... I have tried repeatedly to make the oven-fried chips recipe and they always come out NOT crisp. ANy ideas? Does the sort of potato matter? Would it help to soak them and drain them before cooking? Thanks, Nance |

It'd be easier to help if you told us how you are cooking them.

"french fries"
sorry. I am following the recipe in one of the wwers cookbooks: spray a
pan with cooking spray, slice the potatoes thin (I have a mandolin slicer that gives me really good thin slices) I spray again, season and put them in at 400Ëš for 15, although I needed 20. I was using red potatoes. I would really like to find a solution to this since I LOATHE the commercially available "baked chips." thanks, Nance Willow Herself wrote: It'd be easier to help if you told us how you are cooking them.

that's not what I'm after. It's chips I want to make.

Make sure that your slices are very dry.
I put them on a papertowel, and then dry them on the other side with another papertowel. I haven't done that in a looooooooong time though.. I also use oil instead of "pam". I have a misto bottle that sprays oil... Will~ -- "Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic."

Have you seen the ready-filled ones they have now in the markets? I didn't have too much luck with the misto bottles. thanks for the tips. I love potato chips and hate the baked versions in the bags.

The one I was using had two sections and the top you have to pump and it builds up air pressure inside which acts as the propellant. Nance |

Yup, that's what I have.. I kinda don't know how it could jam, but I'd just
use warm water to un-jam it.. http://tinyurl.com/23gce2 Mone are 2 years old and still going strong.. Will~ -- "Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark.
