How do you prefer your chips/fries being made?

[Tommy]

Discuss.... 

[Spike]

Well you know if I'm paying for them I'd like them to be at least twice fried in the deep fat fryer

[Stan]

At home, in the oven. 

But triple-cooked chips from restaurants are superb.

Deep fried double or triple cooked is obviously optimum. But I don’t fancy the heart attack.

Easier to season in the oven though 

[nudge]

Deep fried in duck fat.

[CaaC (John)]

Deep fried or oven, I think I tried microwave chips once and they were shite, I prefer thin chips than fat ones.

This has got me going now and tomorrow I think I will have a treat of sausage, bacon, eggs & CHIPS

I feel like anyone not voting "deep fried" is lying to us... and to themselves

[Bluewolf]

Deep fried for me...

Air fryer,  it comes out light and fluffy

Not sure, if I'm lost in translation here. Therefore a genuine question: Did I misinterpret or did you say, you indeed prefer your fries slack over crispy?

Light and fluffy? WHAT? Are you talking about cotton candy?

Cotton Candy?? WTF is that? Are you referring to Candy Floss? Learn to speak proper English and not that rubbish from over the Atlantic.

Deep fried, dropped on the floor, swept back into their packet and handed over to me via the McDonalds drive thru window

the air fryer makes the outside crispy, but the inside is fluffy.  when you deep fry or oven bake you may get some unevenly cooked chips that are hard or undercooked, which is gross.   the air fryer cooks evenly without the use of oils or fats.

as above, when you open a chip it must look fluffy inside and crispy outside, it kind of looks like opening a fluffy toy.

 

I hate undercooked or hard patato inside the chip,  air frying cooks evenly so you are unlikely to get those potato tasting chips.

[OrangeKhrush]

i also like to thinly slice up a potato and make chip coins/wheels, just nice and crispy

Yeah I hate when my chips taste like potatoes...

Looking at the votes this is a high cholesterol thread.

If you eat it in huge amounts, yes. But nothing harmful in having them every two or three weeks. 

[MUFC]

Swaying from the subject. I prefer roast potatoes with a touch of salt upon coming out of the oven.

Properly made roast potatoes with salt are immense.

[JoshBRFC+]

Only one winner, deep fried. 
 

Although, not a massive chip fan to be honest. 

[nudge]

I am not a fan of British-style thick chips, much prefer the thin French fries instead.

I like twice baked potatos the best. But roasted potatoes are great. Chips are great.

Potatoes are fucking phenomenal tbh.
