After years of eating oven ready chips, and suffering hand cut, triple fried chips when eating out, last night I got the old chip pan out.

Result, both Mrs AA and myself agreed they were the best chips we've had for years.

Still got the touch :)

Oil or Lard, have to agree with many comments, potatoes are not what they used to be. Bought some proper new potatoes from a farmers market and threw most of them out, no better that supermarket ones, bland and tasteless............. :(

We tend to buy a leading brand of oven chips, but cook them in a deep fat fryer, but they do not seem to go brown, perhaps, after reading this we should look at making real chips..... :y

I've blown up 2 fryers in as many years.  We've got one of those minimal oil rotary fryers now, which definatley isn't the same as a proper chip, but a damn sight more healthy I suspect.  I'd class its results of what a oven chip is supposed to be, but never quite is...  ...possibly because we always use oven chips in it (can't buy frying chips around here :(.  Must try some freshly chipped taters in it one day.

Why don't they sell spuds around Brackley.

I think TB considers shopping a "pink job" and has therefore probably never looked, choosing to believe his dear wife when she tells him that only healthy food is available in Brackley supermarkets.. ;D
Being a disbelieving soul, I went to a well known British success story but currently down in the dumps Supermarket with her, and had to admit that she had been right for the last 15yrs, when she'd grumbled our store was shite!

Morrisons sell em  :y
