Oven Chips

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to highest temperature, generally 240 degrees Celsius.
2. 2
   Lightly oil a large shallow roasting tin and place it in the oven to get really hot while you prepare the potatoes.
3. 3
   Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then into long thin wedges, or thicker ones if you prefer.
4. 4
   Brush each side lightly with oil (or just pop them into a large bowl, pour some oil over and mix them around a few times to coat them).
5. 5
   When the oven is really hot, remove the pan carefully and scatter the potato wedges over it, spreading them out in a single layer over the hot oil.
6. 6
   Sprinkle the potato wedges with the herbs and salt and roast for about 20 minutes, or longer if they are thicker.
7. 7
   They will be ready when they are golden brown, crisp and lightly puffy.
8. 8
   Remove from oven and serve with a dollop of mayonnaise.
