has anyone ever made these as directed and have them turn out as in the photos?

They take hours to brown when I make them. Top tips anyone?

Use a ridged tray or pizza tray, respray with fry lite half way through cooking.

I had some with my tea, they were very pale but perfectly edible. I agree that I would a bit more colour & crispness, but I was hungry and couldn't wait another 10 minutes!

Weight gain in pregnancy

Weight gain during pregnancy is one of life's certainties, but studies show that many women don't know how much weight they should be putting on – and could be putting themselves and their baby at risk

I do mine in the wok - I cook everything that I frylite this way. also like to have little cubed potatos done in the oven with garlic and rosemary. way better than chips!

I boil them first, then whack the oven up full blast to get them brown and crispy.

Smokedsalmonbagel · 30/07/2013 17:21

I turn the oven to as high as it will go for the last 10 minutes to get them to brown.

I put mine in the microwave with beef stock, drain it and then stick them in the oven as usual. Tastes a bit like chippy chips. Yum.

I par-boil them for 5 mins first. If I don't, I find that the outsides burn before the middles are cooked. I cook for 25 mins on 170.
