It’s OK, I’m not going to start posting about Slimming World every day but after my post yesterday, I did want to share with you my secret to perfect Slimming World Chips because they’re great for everyone, not just people on Slimming World because they’re healthy to make and delicious to eat. 😉
I don’t peel my potatoes when I make Slimming World chips because (a) I’m lazy, (b) they taste nicer with the skin on and (c) there’s loads of good stuff in the skin. I just give them a quick rinse under a cold tap and then cut them up into chip shapes.
Next, I just pop them in a pan of salted boiling water and par boil them for about five minutes.
After five minutes I drain the pan of all the water and leave the potatoes to cool a little bit. This is the key to making the chips crispy because by letting them cool, you’re also getting rid of as much moisture as possible. You could speed this up by giving them a good dab with some kitchen roll if you don’t have time to leave them.
After they’ve cooled for about half an hour I give them a good shake about it the pan to rough them up a bit and then I spray them with Frylight and sprinkle some salt on them. I repeat the process – shake, spray, sprinkle – once more to ensure that they’re fully coated and then I pop them on a baking tray.
I put them in the oven at about 200 c for around 25-30 minutes but I check on them and give them a jiggle about at 10, 20 and 25 minutes to get them crispy all around.
The homemade chunky tomato ketchup is actually just my lovely homemade tomato sauce which I freeze in ice cube trays to make smaller portions of chunky syn free tomato ketchup.
I’m drooling right now as I have some ready for my tea tonight to go with some homemade chilli beef burgers!

I love slimming world chips I definitely need to try out ur homemade chunky tomato ketchup recipe.
These look amazing. I love doing these in our air fryer
I love homemade chips cooked in the oven. I always think it strange that so often we peel away the goodness in the skins of potatoes.
These look delicious, I love homemade chips and the salsa looks tasty
I make slimming world chips a lot but they never look anywhere near as appetising as these do! Will definitely try leaving them to dry out a bit and adding more salt next time I make them, thank you 🙂
I do love Slimming World chips. I tend to whack them straight in the open after chopping them up though so may have to try it your way and see if my lot prefer them – they aren't 'proper chips' apparently. Love the little basket you have for your chips, they look like they belong in a restaurant!
These sound great – love the idea of healthier chips. I'd have mine by themselves with ketchup and vinegar!
I would be drooling over those too if I was having them for dinner! I love simple recipes like this too.
