Kentucky Style Chips – By Mark Hix
This is one of those great seasonings that you can use on pieces of chicken, fish or in this case chips. Kids love it especially with a bowl of mayonnaise mixed with ketchup, gherkins and herbs to make a thousand island dressing.
Ingredients Allow 200-250g of potatoes per person
1tsp onion powder
1tsp ground cumin
½ tsp paprika
Pinch of sea salt
1tsp ground black pepper
Pinch of celery salt
5-6tbls olive oil (for baked chips)
Pre-heat dripping, lard or vegetable oil (for fried chips)
Method 1. Mix all of the spices together then use to season either fried chips or the baked style chunky chips. For fried chips follow traditional recipe above. For baked chips, heat the olive oil in a roasting tray in the oven then add the potatoes.
2. With the baked ones you can actually add the seasoning at the beginning or half way through cooking.
