I cooked chips (thicker than french fries) for the first time yesterday and they were gorgeous! This is what I did:
Preheat oven to 250C for 6 minutes
Slice potatoes into chips
Spread out evenly in a 9" non-stick baking pan
Toss with a small amount of virgin olive oil (you can omit this but makes them crisper)
Reduce oven heat to 200 and put pan on high rack
Cook for 10 minutes, turn them over then reduce temperature to 180 and cook 5 minutes more. Perfect!!

sounds good i will give it a go thanks x

I have also tried cooking chips, I bought one of those mesh trays for cooking oven chips in, and this is how I cooked my chips.
First, I cut potatoes into chips, then I microwaved them for 10 minutes, preheat the oven for approx 5-10 mins, while chips are in microwave, after that, I tossed in a little oil (any oil you like, I prefer olive oil), then spread them out on the mesh tray.
Next, place on the top rack of the oven, and cook for approx 15 mins at 250c, turning halfway through, result, delicious, crispy chips!!

I was cooking egg and chips for dinner tonight so tried one potato in the HO. I cut chips and put in microwave for 5 minutes first the drained and patted dry. I brushed with oil and put on top rack of HO but with the extender ring in place. I had them on about 175C while the other chips were cooking in the pan. They needed slightly longer but were sort of okay. I will definitely try them again.
