So Uno and I go and eat at Manna Epicure today…we ate patatas bravas but we wondered – what can that spicy sauce be? It’s so yummy!

That reminded me of Jamie Oliver’s chips that are so good but they don’t require deep-fat braaiing… All thanks to Jamie – we love you.

Preheat the oven on 230 degrees C, put a baking pan in there. Put a deep pan with salted boiling water on the stove. Take 1/2 medium-sized potatoes per person and cut them in 1/3’s, lenthways, then cut the thirds in halfs (6 chippies),keep their skins on. When the water is boiling, chuck the chips in and par-boil for 10 min. Drain and rinse under cold water and let them cool, while you put a sauce pan with some olive oil and whole, unpeeled garlic on the stove. Let it get nice and hot, but don’t let the oil smoke. Then put the potatoes in there, toss so that the potatoes are well covered with olive oil. Now take out the baking pan and transfer the potatoes on there. Put it back in the oven and let it go for 20-25minutes. Take it out, let it cool a bit and then eat it. It sounds like a lot of effort for only healthy chippies, but try it and see for yourself. It’s good.
