Can you recommend a brand to buy? Or are they pretty much all the same?

    I really like the Lidl "Harvest Basket" Chunky Chips. Slightly more expensive than some of the other varieties they stock , but worth it IMO

    May depend on wether you like your chips cut thin or more chunky

    Aldi Specially Selected Maris Piper Chunky Oven Chips are super quality. Not the cheapest around, but worth the extra.

    your point being what ? French Fries ( in the UK at least ) can refer to any form of potato chips

    My personal favourite are Iceland's Thin & Crispy Coated French Fries - delicious, (oven cook, grill or fry). When I last bought them they were priced at 89p for a 1kg bag, but they are now selling them for £1.00 for a 1.5kg bag.

    +1 for Lidl French Fries - really good IMHO & at 60p/odd for 1kg they're a bargain. ;)

    Never liked frozen oven fries, always loved deep fried.

    Maybe, but most packets show picture of long, thin chips when you look at them.

    Another vote for Iceland's thin and crispy coated fries.


    They are very much like the fries you get in the McBurgerKing type of eateries.
