Is it healthier to eat chips fried in olive oil?

Answer 1

no but if you put your raw chips in a bag with olive oil then bake them in the oven on a tray they are lovely(without the bag obviously

Answer 2

It may be healthier but would surely cost a lot, Why not use sunflower oil, or just plain vegetable oil. You could cook wedges instead cut potato in half lenthwise then in half again until you have wedges 1/2 inch on thick side, don't even need to peel. Put them in a poly bag season with s+p and thyme, pour in some olive/extra virgin oil shake then place on tray and pop in hot oven for 1/2 hour, eat and enjoy. You can keep the bag for about a week so you can use it again and again.

Answer 3

There's no 'healthy' chip, but frying in olive oil as opposed to vegetable oil is a healthier option, just. Instead of frying chips why not try potato wedges drizzled with olive oil and baked in the oven.

Answer 4

Just brish them with olive oil and bake them in the oven, much healthier than ordinary chips

Answer 5

You cant fry chips in olive oil as you wont be able to get olive oil hot enough to fry the potatoes.

It is a little bit better. Olive oil has a higher smoking point than veg oils and therefore the amount of sat fats is a little less. But it is still friying. Not the healthiest option.

Answer 7

Olive oil is not meant for deep frying, as it burns easily and cross links - but you can saute' with it safely.
Also, generally deep frying absorbs more oil than sauteing - technique is the key for a healthier alternative.
