I normally buy McCain's Home Fries but I often find them very dry and cardboard-y. What's the best brand of chip which tastes more like a fried chip?

I don't think any oven chip can ever taste like a fried one tbh.

I have never seen this brand. Are the chips chunky or those awful skinny things?

None of them are anywhere near as nice tasting as frying chips.

I like McCains crinkle cut Home Fries the best.

the ones I make myself are ultimately the nicest.
Cut up a potato into wedges, toss with a bit of olive oil, paprika and pepper, 30 minutes in an oven at 200c, yum

Sheddy is right - chop up a potato into wedges, par-boil for about 8 mins, place on a baking tray with some olive oil, salt, pepper and chilli flakes if required, bake in a hot oven for 25-30 mins. Much better than any frozen chippy McCain Home Fries used to be nice, but you are right, these days they are not very tasty!

Tesco Finest Chunky Oven Chips.

And, they have the added benefit of not having an advert featuring plastic people going "mm-mm-mmm crispy" that I wish to kill in the most perverse ways conceivable.

Aunt Bessies are the best that I have tried.

Agree with both of the above, no frozen oven chip tastes good, they are ALL dry and powdery.

Make your own, for the 5 mins work its well worth it!

Yeah, even the oven chips people say here are good or the best are dreadful.
