McCain Home Fries - Products Changes

raphanius

I used to love mccain home fries (anyone remember the vouchers the other year) and recently i got a moc from mccain for their home fries (or so i thought). dissapointingly home fries are now called home chips and do not fry. they are now oven cook chips.

I never actually noticed that change on the packaging, i had noticed the taste had changed from what i remembered

Hiya - My cousin works for McCain and he knows for sure that it's the same product so they still fry and taste the same. Don't worry and carry on enjoying them!

I got these 'Home chips' from Asda the other day, and deep fried them.. they taste exactly the same as the 'old Homefries'

Maybe they changed the packaging to sound more healthy?

thanks....never have seen the point in 'healthy' chips lol

I have stopped buying McCains homefries because I found that they leave a sticky residue on the oven tray that will not budge no matter how I clean it. Has anyone else found this?

I thought they were always oven cook....i've always oven cooked them anyway and they are still delish!

Personally I think they are the best oven chips you can buy and worth paying that bit more for. As far as a sticky residue on the tray goes, I always line my tray with foil and then chuck it away - saves having to wash the tray up. Anything to make life easier! I did once buy one of those trays with holes in for cooking oven chips and pizzas (supposed to make them crisper) but I never found any difference so stopped using it.

Steam cleaning gets it off.

Much healthier for you though, and the extra thick ones are fab.
