Serves 2

Ingredients 3 large potatoes Olive oil Sea salt Tomato ketchup Cheddar cheese

Method Preheat the oven to 180°c. Peel the potatoes and cut into long chips about 1cm wide. Bake in the oven in plenty of olive oil with a generous sprinkling of sea salt for 30 minutes. Turn up the oven to crisp the chips and cook until soft on the inside but with crispy shells, this will take around 10 minutes. Allow to cool a little and serve with tomato ketchup or a grated cheddar cheese.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by His Majesty The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
