Wow - these are terrific. I had no issues at all with them browning but did find it took more like 30 minutes to have them cook through and brown but that worked out fine for me. I used a 375F oven temperature and turned them about every 5 minutes. My family raved about them. I'll definitely be using this recipe often. Made for PAC 2011 because you are my adopted Chef.

OMG No, these are fantastic. Hands down the best oven fried potatoes that we have tried on this site. So good, quick, really easy to make. We loved them, crispy on the outside and tender and fluffy on the inside. I cooked them for 30 minutes and turned them often, sprinkled with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper for a superior chips. My dh & I were both very impressed. This is now my go to recipe for chips, so much easier than frying. We loved the flavor that the chicken stock brought to the table, can't wait to try them with beef stock. They were the perfect side for our roast beef sandwiches. Thanks so much for sharing a new family favorite. I have added these to my Favorites Cookbook for 2013. Kudos

Excellent and tasty recipe for home-made oven chips. They were lightly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. used chicken stock and canola oil. After coating the potatoes with canola oil I sprinkled a little fresh ground pepper, fresh ground sea salt and paprika on them. I baked them for about 6 or 7 minutes, turned them over and baked them for an additional 6 or 7 minutes. They were perfect and flavorful. Made for April 2011 Aus/NZ Swap.
