I wash my potatoes and peel them thicker than usual, I rinse the peel and keep it to make "Skins" for supper and use the rest for Chips. I do agree about using proper oil for a much better chip. I put my sausages in the Actifry without any oil at all and cook them that way, they do not take very long to cook so keep an eye on them, if you have something delicate to cook, i.e. fish fingers, take out the paddle and turn them over after a little while, delicious.
