Homemade wedges for me  Very Happy   Or sometimes little cubes of potatoes parboiled and then done in the oven till really golden and crunchy.

Though, I bought a little deep fat fryer from Lakeland a little while ago and the temptation of trying chips in it is getting stronger  Laughing

I voted other because I've just bought a Tefal Actifry. It makes a kg of chips using only 15ml's of any oil of your choice.

I love fresh chips so this way I can hopefully still be able to stick to the Slimming World diet and have chips Rolling Eyes

Hardly ever make chips cos of the fattening aspect Wink but do occasionally succumb to chip shop chips or some Tesco spicy wedges with sour cream dip Razz

When I was younger and always skinny I used to make my own in a chip pan a lot - I LOVE proper homemade chips.

I do oven chips because I never will have a deep-fat fryer in my home............hate them. I also love chip shop chips occasionally, but I prefer potatoes from the steamer anyway Smile

I mostly make potato wedges with a sprinkling of Season All and Paprika and a spray of Fry-Light or Olive Oil, but I do keep oven chips in the freezer as well! Smile
