Tesco "Finest" Chunky Chips - £1 1.5kg

043211.jpg

1.5kg bags and on offer until 31/12 - same price as the "value" chips.
Bought some today and hope they are as good as Sainsbury's "Taste the Difference".

  • These are really nice, going to get a couple of bags in.
  • I have then regularly, they do take quite a bit of cooking to crisp them up, but they are very nice indeed!

    OH recommends Waitrose organic oven chips 750g 1.99 Waitrose and Ocado, I recommend using Rose Elliot's recipe for swede oven chips and Bare Essentials organic swede currently 99p at Ocado if you have a Total Savings Pas.
  • I picked a bag of these up the other week in Tesco (they were on offer but not as good as £1 a bag), my husband thought they were going to be a lot more expensive than the normal chips until I pointed out they are cheaper per kg than other alternatives.

    Im not a huge fan off oven chips but had some yesterday and I agree with the poster who says about them crisping up- once they are crispy they are really nice and still nice and fluffy in the middle. Think Ill have to try and stock up at £1 a bag.

    I've just popped some in the oven now to try, so will update later - they are chunky though and I'll blast the heat up for last 10 minutes.

  • We have just had some with our tea they aren't the worst oven chips but they certainly not the best- take a long time to cook and are quite dry have the same flavour as mccains x
