In the supermarket here they don't seem to have oven chips, they have chips for deep frying. I didn't realise and cooked them in the oven, the first time they didn't come out very well because they weren't covered in oil and salt like oven chips are. After that I added some oil and salt - which got me thinking - maybe you could do the same with 'real' potato. Seems to work well, not quite the same as proper chips, but less messy than having a deep fat frier.
Chop potatoes in to chip shapes (you can peel or not as you prefer)
Put in a pan of cold water and bring to the boil
As soon as it it properly boiling drain and sprinkle generously with oil (something like a tablespoon per potato if biggish potatoes) and salt then stir well
Spread on a baking sheet and put in a hot oven (220°C ish) for about 30 mins or until golden brown.
