Step 1
Grab as many potatoes as you need. We tend to use 1 large/2 medium per person.
Step 2
Chop your potatoes into chip shapes. (If you want to be really particular you can and cut them into perfect rectangles to make nice straight chips).
Step 3
Cover a baking tray with tin foil and spray liberally with low calorie cooking spray.
Step 4
Add your chips to the tray, spray with more low calorie cooking spray and shake over plenty of Schwartz ‘Perfect Shake Chips’.
Step 5
Bake at 180°C (fan) for about 45-60 minutes. Keep an eye on the chips as sweet potato does catch very quickly- turn the heat down and cook for longer if you need to.
Step 6
When the chips are nearly done, spritz them with a little extra low calorie cooking spray before returning them to the oven for the last few minutes.
