What are the best/ tastiest frozen chips you can buy in supermarkets. Preferably good for airfrying.
I've tried those - really poor quality chips also imo
My missus bought a bag of McCain Naked Frozen Chips (just potato and sunflower oil).
Do not buy these, they are awful. No taste off them whatsoever.
Picked up these crinkle cut Maris Piper Deluxe in Lidl. They are marked new, but not sure if they are new or not. Really gorgeous, really crispy, even in the oven. Recommend. 2.99 for 1.5kg

Aldi skin on are hard to beat.
Yeh excellent, €1.55 a bag
Always got the Aldi home style ones that used to be 79c and are €1:49 now lovely out of the airfryer, dry.
However got these Aunt Bessie in a two for six offer recently and really enjoy them they work out of the airfryer and aren't dry.

Recently tried the crispy skinny strong roots ones - top class. Pricey though
My latest go to is Lidl crinkle cut chips and a teaspoon or two of Aldi spice bag mix in the tub. Mix well and devour.
I do the chips for 14 minutes at 180° no preheat. I generally only do enough for one person so a longer time might be needed for more.
Tesco do a new skin on fries - very nice!
The Aldi and Lidl beef dripping chips are very good, slightly prefer the Aldi version.
We've used these a few times and they're pretty tasty! We cook them in the oven.
If you want chips that look/taste closest to McDonald's "fries", then Lidl's French Fries are the bees knees.
Never struck me to try own brand oven chips- always went for a branded bag- must give them a go.
Any experience of Dunnes own brand chips?
I have to say hands down, the best are M&S frozen fries. They are skinny fries tho I think they do chunky too. They have a coating that makes them way better than all the others! I’m a chipaholic and these are always my go to, when in stock!
Tried those Aldi black bag ones on foot of this thread - excellent - cheer for the rec!
McCain home chips (preferably crinkle cut) - definitely the best from the airfryer of anything I've tried.
Usually cook for about 25 mins at 200 in the airfryer (varies depending on how full the basket is)
I've tried them all and have settled on these from Aldi
Closest to a chipper chip I've cooked at home. I cook mine in a halogen oven.
The chunky chips seem to be a favourite looking through this thread.
These are currently 2.19 for 1.5Kg bag.
My default time is 14mins @240 degrees.
I'll alter it depending on the size/style of the chips.....parboiled homemade take less time, chunky ones take a bit longer etc. I'll also try to time it so they finish a little before the rest of the cooking and get a few mins to 'settle' as this makes the outside crispier, I find.....e.g. set the timer to only 12 mins then when the time's up I leave them untouched in the fryer for 5-7 mins while I plate everything else.
That's them, excellent 👌
These are the range they changed for the worst, old packet was black and had finest wrote on it.
New red packet are by no means bad just a world away from previous.
What does it do? Thought it would just remove more grease from the chip and they'd be dry. Might give it a try next time.
I line the removeable tray in my Ninja airfrier with greaseproof parchment paper and I think you get a much nicer chip
These are my favourite. I go to tesco only for them.
I think these chunky chips are same as Tesco chunky chips....I've tried both and they taste same..have to say there 1 of my favourite
What temps/times do ye go for for cooking them? I find if I don't watch them like a hawk they tend to go a bit over. Obviously I could stand to lower the temp a bit so, but curious what others use.
These are the best on the market, IMO. After that I like the Supervalu twisty/curly fries and the McCain crinkle cut ones. Airfryer all the way.
Lidl beef dripping ones are our favourite ones
We recently had to buy the McCain beef dripping ones and they were not half as nice but 3 times the price..
Money
Just tried the skin on fries from Aldi, not bad but I'll keep shopping...
I used to buy the Tesco finest homestyle oven chips lightly flavoured...these were superior to all the others until they changed them a few months ago and now the name finest has been dropped too...why ruin a good thing.
Sorry only do them in the oven!
another vote for the skin on chips in aldi, i fan oven cook them and always nice and crispy.
Tesco brand steak cut are also a good choice.
