Everyone loves chips and dips, and there’s no better excuse than a party, a sports night or a quiet night in with a film to tuck into these tasty savoury treats.
Whilst it might be tempting to turn to the convenience of shop bought chips and a ready made dip, once you discover the delights of making your own it’s hard to look back. Served fresh and hot along with a dipping sauce, which need be no simpler than mayonnaise and garlic, you will be hooked.
Once you are able to slice, bake or fry and season your chips to perfection there really is no contest. And what’s more you know exactly what’s going into and onto your chips avoiding navigating your way through the complex world of artificial flavourings etc.
Hit the kitchen and get cooking and you won't believe all the amazing chips and dipping sauces you can make at home with a little creativity. We have three recipes for chips and dips that are so simple you'll never think about purchasing readymade again. From baked pumpkin to deep fried sweet potato chips with tomato ketchup, olive or avocado and mayonnaise dipping sauce. These should have you covered for a night in.
