honey garlic goat’s cheese chips

print recipe

If you always end your night with a trip to the takeaway for some cheesy chips, this is the recipe you need immediately. My honey garlic goat’s cheese chips – bit of a mouthful I know.

We’ve got chunky homemade chips, beautifully creamy goats cheese, a garlic honey drizzle and a smattering of thyme. We just got all sophisticated and grown up with these cheesy chips.

If you’re short for time or just feeling a bit lazy, try my air fryer chips to speed things along a little. I’ve gotta say, chips in the air fryer are surprisingly good, I admit I was skeptical at first but it’s now one of my go-tos when I fancy a chippy tea. The prep is minimal and you need barely any oil which is ideal if you want carbs without the guilt.

Method

  1. To start, get your chips in cold water for 10 mins.
  2. Blend the cheese with salt and black pepper, then set aside.
  3. Add honey to a saucepan and bring to the boil.
  4. Turn the heat down to low, add sliced garlic and cook 10-15 mins until the garlic is golden. Remove from the heat (and gently warm up later when you've completed the chips).
  5. Heat oil in a deep fat fryer to 170°C.
  6. Drain chips from the water and pat dry with a tea towel.
  7. Once dry, deep fry in batches for up to 10 mins until cooked through but not golden in colour. Then drain on to a paper towel.
  8. When all the chips are fried, turn the heat up to 190°C and re-fry the chips in batches again until golden.
  9. Drain, season well with salt. Fine salt works better as it really sticks to the chips.
  10. Add them to a serving bowl and lather over the goat's cheese, drizzle on the garlic honey and sprinkle with thyme leaves. Enjoy!
