Hardly ever, maybe once every couple of months - and then we have home-made ones. I eat them under sufferance - really don't like them - Dh and the dds love them but fortunately because I hate them I'm not subjected to them too often!

I meant home-made. Cod - those aren't chips!

Hardly ever. It's not that I don't like them but I'm doing Weightwatchers and would rather splurge my points on red wine! (hic)

We have them ( home fried in deep fat fryer) once a week. Chips have the most vitamin c of any potatos apart from jacket spuds, so they're good for you. I use rapeseed oil and change it every 6 fryings.

Once every few weeks. Do love my chips from the chippy though. We tend to make sweet potato, parsnip, carrots and potato chips at home every couple of weeks. Everyone loves them. Yum!

what are home fries?

Report

kids have potato wedges (made in oven) maybe once every couple of weeks - Otherwise they don't have any other kind of chips.

Can I ask a related question? I made my own oven chips last night and wondered how to freeze the raw ones without them turning black. Any tips?

home fries are good mmm with mayo with a bit of mustard mixed in and lots of crunchy salt

Probably once every 2 weeks at the most. I have a deep fat fryer, and I use ordinary potatoes (unpeeled) for my chips. Never ever saw the attraction in frozen chips...
