Howdy Food Tube. It's Barry here from My Virgin Kitchen.
On today's match day munchies I am showing you how to make crisps or potato chips.
Three different ways.
My name is Barryinho. Oh yeah. You know, you've probably heard of me. Just to let you know that I
endorse these crisps. Baked, fried or microwaved.
It's the perfect line up for your match day, and it'll help you win the World Cup trophy. I know it's not the World Cup
trophy but it's the best that I could do at short notice. Right, so first up
I'm using something which is called a mandoline. Which I've just bought this morning.
Basically,
it helps to cut vegetables nice and even. So I went to the supermarket and went 'can you show me where
your
mandoline are' and the lady took me to the tinned fruit aisle to the mandarins.
So make sure that they take you to the right aisle. But anyhow these cut them so safely,
and evenly, perfect
like nice and thin crisp shapes. Now what I did with my normal potatoes a lot of
starch comes off there so give them a little pat dry with a tea towel as well.
So nice and dry. Ready to go. We'll start off by frying our crisps
old-school style. So grab yourself a pan and put it on a nice high flame.
and pour the oil in about half way up. You want to leave the other half just
like a safety precaution really. And once it's super hot you want to tip
in your potato slices. So I added one in first of all at a time to
get it nice and brown and put on some kitchen towel to drain off
and then I started to get a bit more confident and I added 3 or 4 in there. They brown within a minute
take it out and let it rest.
Once all of your crisps are done, patted dry and cooled. Chuck them into a nice bag.
Chuck in your paprika, or your topping of choice, and give it
a nice little shake to coat them fully. Oh my goodness. Those are good,
but if
you're feeling super lazy and in a hurry, here's how you microwave crisps.
Plonk your potato slices into a mixing bowl, and add in your oil and your seasoning. So I went for salt and
pepper on these ones, and just give it a little mix with your hands to coat it all around.
Now get a plate, and pour on some oil, and lay out your potatoes so
they don't overlap all over
the plate. Now I whacked it into my microwave for 4 minutes and that's 800 watt microwave.
now what into a lightweight full minutes and that's it 800 watt microwave, until they come out
bubbling and crispy.
Now when they come out of the microwave they're going to be super hot, so be careful. Transfer them over and
let them cool down naturally before eating them.
Oh my Goodness. now I know it's a little bit naughty but
and a little bit cheeky,
but they taste really good, and again you can add any flavourings on there you want.
So if you're after some drinks to go with your match day munchies, check out
this video that I've done for Drinks Tube after this. I'm reviewing some beers and ciders.
Right down there.
Super, super good. So I've saved my favourite till last. It takes a little longer.
Sweet potato baked rosemary crisps.
takes a little longer to sweep take the bait rate increased
So again, grab yourself a mixing bowl with the potato slices. Tip on your oil and mix it all together
and again you can add any topping you wish. So I went for some fresh rosemary.
Plonk your potatoes down onto a lined baking tray. Ensuring that they don't over lap.
Bake it for around about 10 to 12 minutes
before taking them out and simply flipping them over with some tongs,
and baking them for another five minutes. You want to bake them until the edges are hard,
the middles might be a little bit soft, so you want to leave them and then they'll harden up.
Wow guys.
Good things really do come to those that wait. The taste in those
is sensational. The rosemary working it's way through there.
But of course you don't have to have the rosemary on there. You can have the paprika, the salt and pepper.
In fact why not
you let me know down below what you would put on yours.
What favourite method you used. What favourite topping. Obviously here at Food Tube we don't
