Don't mind the skins being on, but they're a tad too dry for my liking.

Cut some spuds up at home and put em in your fryer, it's the only way forward!

In New York all the restaurants kept the skins on their chips and they tasted so much better.
Will need to find the rustic chips when we go shopping later. |

I've tried these and thought they were gross, most oven chips are dry but these were just not right

So I toss them in a little olive oil before they go in the oven. I also season them with salt and pepper at the same time. I find it makes quite a difference.

McCains haven't made decent chips for a long time, don't know what they have done to them, but they are very poor now.

Yes and I was not that impressed, much better oven baked, deep fry them and they go greasy inside, no matter how hot the oil is.

Give me homemade chippies anyday, deep fried, but in the oven and well basted with olive oil! |
