Best ready made oven chips

I know, I know, but in the extremely unlikely situation that there is nothing for it but to, dare I say it, buy a bag of oven chips, which would you recommend? Today I must confess that I have bought a bag of Aldi potato wedges -1kg @ 69p-opted for the wedges (garlic in ingredients) as I thought they may be better tasting than plain oven chips, which I find don't really taste of anything.

    Best oven chips I have ever eaten are McCain's Homefries.

    Tesco Finest chunky oven chips are lovely and they're so big & chunky that you only need a few on the plate.

    Morrisons crinkled cut oven chips 900g £1 or 2 for £1.50 are nice.

    We don't have chips very often but, when we do, I always use oven chips. Why not? They are hardly expensive and you get a good result with no effort or time. I usually have McCains.

    McCain French Fries. For me the best chips, better than fried ones... we usually have them 1/2 times a week as they are not very healthy, but I find difficult to resist !!

    I rarely use ready made food, but here's another vote for McCain Homefries, I grill them & they're outstanding :)
