A simple and easy dish, it makes for an ideal weeknight dinner.

  1. Heat oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. 
  2. Tear the slices of bread into 2cm pieces. Spread over a large baking sheet or tray and drizzle with the olive oil. 
  3. Bake for 8-10 minutes, turning the croutons a few times during cooking so they brown evenly.
  4. Cut the unpeeled potatoes into thin chips, measuring about 5mm wide.
  5. Place the potatoes and oil in a plastic bag and shake gently to coat.  Spread the chips on a large non-stick baking tray. 
  6. Cook the chips for 25-30 minutes or until golden and fluffy.
