Waitrose Hand-Sculpted Chipped Potatoes from the 'I say Tarquin Aren't These Rather Splendid' Range take some beating imo.

ordered these by accident as thought where the crisps turned out good but not many in them

1) McCain Simply Gorgeous Chips -
(I am a Chip Expert, and these are the best imo - thick cut chips and basted in Beef Dripping.)

2) McCain Home Chips Straight Cut
(Oven chips have improved a lot over the years and these are very good, crisp and chunky chips.)

Good thread this. Keep 'em coming.

I have not come across Simply Gorgeous, hound dog, I will find some, but don't underestimate the tesco jobby. Fries is a moot point, chips is what we are on about.

tesco sweet potato oven chips then

a chippy bake off

I will report fri

mccains lightly spied wedges are quite nice

Couldn't agree more. And you can often buy them for just £1 in the bigger supermarkets. Just had a plateful with some fish.

Aunt Bessies are shotgun shells but harder.


In fact, they're all shíte..

alun never more than £1 in farmfoods

shotgun shells

aunt bessie jam roll?

Is that a euphemism?

A handy thread. I can't find any decent oven chips so I might try a few mentioned on here.

Make your own from sweet potatoes, you'll never eat that supermarket muck again.

Mika you got more than double the fkcing amount for the same price as my mccain ones


bookmarked *

alpha i have had home made but from 5 star kitchens

how do i go about making my own

Try the Mcain frozen roast potatoes, as good if not better than home made ones. (in yellow bag)

Harder than minie balls

ttt for the quizzers on Dragon's thread.

Saw a new type in the supermarket yesterday. McCain "gasto chips". were sometihng like £2.50 for a small bag!

I like the southern fries or curly fries.

The worst kind are the cheap kind of fries that are sort of translucent and you can't grill or oven cook, you need to fry I think.
Or they are just revolting no matter how you cook them.

This fred made me laugh thanks everyone, aunt bessie couldnt make a chip and should stick to whatever shes good at imo. No matter how long you cook the basdids theres always a few that are raw. Will search for these tesco basdids with vigour.

I'm fond of good quality croquettes. That's just the way I roll.

no such thing as a good oven chip.

tesco's string fries are as good as macdonalds but you have to fry them. only six natural ingredients. McDon, uses 18 ingrediants - some radioactive.

1. Tesco Finest British Chunky Oven Chips ( the dog's bollocks imo)


this is Gospel

It's a phallicy. It's just a conspiracy to save the NHS money...

McCain chips are rank, soggy as hell!

Yes, McCains' don't do it for me either. Aunt Bessie's if I was forced to make a choice.

Iceland have Carrot Chips (£1) and Sweet Potato Chips (£1.50) if anyone fancies something different. I've bought both but haven't tried them yet.

Wedges are NOT chips, can we keep on topic please

Def the best oven chips, trust me, McCain Gorgeous Chips - basted in beef dripping.

I will try some of these posh gorgeous ones god forbid use if im being taken for a fool better be edible.

Oven chips are for mugs.

ALL oven chips are an obomination and bear no resemblance to real chips. Just another potato product.

apotatostates will be punished

get your peelers out or you will regret it!!!

You've got to hand it to the supermarkets and food companies when with clever marketing and packaging they can convince people to buy a product that is vastly inferior but a lot more expensive than the real thing.

Very good chips need cooking twice, it's a lot of mess and faffing. If you don't have a deep fryer it has to be the oven, or those floppy anemic things from the chippy.

"Very good chips need cooking twice...."

Totally agree, blanch them first (so they are cooked without colour) and then later in the deep fat again to crisp them up to a pale golden colour. Lot of people reckon Maris Piper best potato for chips, wouldn't argue with that, but a good Wilja will also make nice chips. Best way to cook them beef dripping, just a fantastic flavour for real fish and chips. Lot of chip shops especially up North used beef dripping years ago but these days most people want the healthiest options.

Oven chips have improved a lot but still second best to 'real' chips. And best oven chips imo those posh ones McCain Gorgeous Chips - basted in beef dripping.

Tefal Actifry makes very good low fat chips. Not as good as proper twice fried chips but in a different league to "oven chips".

I'm surprised a lot of erstwhile sensible posters here are endorsing oven chips as I understood they were exclusively for poor people.

Poor and lazy people. Strange frame of mind though. When you're skint you buy expensive processed food products that you could cook yourself for a fraction of the cost.

So, poor, lazy and thick then.

Deep fat fryers are generally owned by lard arses tbf, Johnny. I wouldn't give one house room.

So .....poor, lazy, thick and fat?

Can picture McCain's marketing men drooling at the demographic.

I must try some of these, as they call them, 'Oven chips'.

"Can picture McCain's marketing men drooling at the demographic"

And may as well add 'heavily-tattooed' to the profile.

This is what we had in the days before oven chips...... and they tasted better !

I know you only have a deep fat fryer for your tempura courgette flowers, johnny, but it's tempting for mortals to cook all sorts of shyte in em. I steer clear.
