How easy is this. Wash potatoes, leaving the skin on, cut into chips. Parboil for 10 mins, toss chips in olive oil, thyme, salt & some chili powder. Cook in hot oven for about 30 minutes. Fry an egg any way you like it, I like mine fried with sunny side up. The yolk is great for dipping the chips into. Egg & chips also goes great with ketchup.
Lots of flavour with almost no fuss. This is how I love my food, the less you do to it the better. Great ingredients will always speak for themselves with no need for cascading layers of flavour. But with a minimal approach to cooking, execution becomes very crucial. But as chef G. Garvin says with the requisite concentration and confidence, cooking great food is within reach of everybody.

I’d never guess that these chips are easy to make, they look really good! I’ll have to try out this method soon. Looks like they’d be tasty during lunch too

[...] My brother & I decided we were going batter & fry the tilapia, and also have along with it some thyme scented oven chips & a little parsley salad. To make the batter we incorporated whipped egg whites to the usual flour,water & ice cubes. We didn’t use any beer. The egg whites idea came from recipes I had seen on the interwebs. The idea is to whip the egg whites to stiff peaks then fold them into your batter. Quite impressed with the results, especially the very crisp light crust. During frying the batter swells spectacularly when it comes into contact with the hot oil. The heat in the oil causes the air bubbles in the batter(from the whipped egg whites) to expand. Expansion is explained by Charles Law , cooking has some great science behind it. For the chips I prepped them using the method in my egg & chips post [...]
