Ripped oven chips with smoked chilli and roasted garlic dip

Get ready for the best oven chips you’ve ever tasted with Gelf Alderson’s ‘ripped’ chips recipe. Tearing the par-boiled potatoes before roasting creates lots of golden, crispy edges.

Gelf says: “We’re a nation of chip lovers, but it’s a bit of a faff (and smelly) to deep-fry chips at home. This roasted new potato version is much easier and the smoky, garlicky, spicy mayo is the perfect accompanying dip.”

Recipe taken from River Cottage Great Roasts by Gelf Alderson (Bloomsbury Publishing £20) and tested by delicious.

  1. You can buy roasted confit garlic in a jar from supermarkets – you’ll need 2 tbsp. If you’d rather roast your own, heat the oven to 180°C fan/gas 6, cut the top off the garlic bulb so the cloves are exposed, put on a small piece of foil on an oven tray, rub with 1 tsp veg oil all over, then wrap in the foil and roast for 25-30 minutes while the potatoes boil. Let the garlic cool a bit before you squeeze out the flesh so it won’t cause the dip to split (and won’t burn your fingers).
