Oven Chips (North American equivalent: Steak Fries, I guess)

Recipe for two people

500g large waxy potatoes
3 tablespoons (=45ml) goose fat (* corn/sunflower oil can be used)
sea salt to taste

Preheat the oven, 220C/425F/Gas Mark 7. On fan-assisted ovens, check
the manual, but for NEFF types, try 180C.

Wash/scrub the potatoes, but don't peel them.

Cut the potatoes length-wise into thick chips/fries. Use the whole
potato, including the skinny bits with skin all down one side.

Put the chips in a bowl and toss by hand with the goose fat and salt.
(That's what the original recipe said. I apply the fat individually by
dipping fingers in the fat and running them over the chips.)

Spread the chips on two baking sheets, and bake for 40-45 minutes. Turn
the chips every 10-15 minutes, and switch the baking sheets about
half-way to aid even cooking.

Remove the chips from the oven and serve.

The original recipe said to drain excess oil from the chips before
serving, but I don't find that there's any left. Instead of a baking
sheet, I use a marvellous device, with broad curve-topped ridges and
holes in, together with a tapered end. It's non-stick, and great for
serving, as the chips just slide off the tapered end onto the plates.
