Cheesy Chips Ingredients
The recipe for our cheesy chips is really easy - for the basic chips you'll just need four ingredients! But then we'll run you through some tasty extras you can add!
- 600g Frozen Oven Chips - we use the McCain Home Chips for our chips with cheese recipe
- 150g Grated Cheddar Cheese - we buy this ready grated
- 2 teaspoon Spicy Italian Seasoning - we use the Schwartz seasoning
- Pinch of salt
How To Make Cheesy Chips
Our homemade chips and cheese is super easy!
Step One - season and cook the frozen oven chips
- Preheat the oven to the temperature on the chip packet (it's usually around 230C)
- Spread the frozen oven chips onto a baking tray, make sure they're all flat with no overlapping. That way they cook better.
- Sprinkle over the spicy Italian seasoning.
- Cook the chips in the oven for 24 minutes - give the tray a shake around the halfway time, to ensure the chips cook evenly.
Step Two - sprinkle on the grated Cheddar cheese
- Scatter the grated cheese over the cooked chips - don't worry if some goes onto the tray it'll just melt in-between the chips and make cheese crisps, and they're delicious!
- Put the tray of cheese covered chips back into the oven for around 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted deliciously and starting to bubble and turn golden.
- Then remove the tray from the oven and serve!
