Hot chips can be healthy if you make them my way. Add in the salt and vinegar aioli and you have one delicious side.

Ingredients

5 potato/s (approx.) washed but unpeeled
1 sweet potato/s (large) washed but unpeeled
2 tbsp ghee, lard or coconut oil -melted if solid (I think ghee makes the crunchiest chips)
1 tbsp sea salt -to taste
1 clove/s garlic -unpeeled
¼ cup/s whole egg mayonnaise -homemade recipe link below (or a good quality whole egg mayo)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (I like Braggs brand)

Instructions

For the hot chips

Preheat your oven to 220℃/430℉ (fan-forced). Heat a large tray with the ghee, lard or coconut oil until the fat is piping hot.
Cut your potatoes into chips, as thick or thin as you like.
Place onto the baking tray and toss in the hot fat until they are well coated, season well with sea salt. Add the clove of garlic.
Arrange in a single layer if possible (this helps to achieve the perfect crispy chip).
Cook until the chips are crispy and brown (approx. 30-40 minutes).
Remove the clove of garlic after about 20 minutes (or once it's softened).

Salt and vinegar Aioli

To make the aioli; Push the flesh from the cooked garlic clove into the mayonnaise. Add the apple cider vinegar and a little sea salt and mix until well combined.

Serve

Immediately, with the salt and vinegar aioli!

Home-made mayo

Lemon aioli

Adding lemon zest to the mayonnaise instead of the apple cider vinegar is also delicious.

Garlic-free

Omit the garlic or sub with a teaspoon of smoked paprika.

Egg-free and vegan

Swap the mayo with savoury cashew cream. Choose the coconut oil as the roasting fat.

No Mayo

These are delicious simply sprinkled with the apple cider vinegar and sea salt.
