So often I've been disappointed by frozen chip brands but I found a winner tonight in woollies : "Proper Chips".

McCain's Quick Cook Straight Cut Crunchy for the win. 12 minutes in the airfryer.

I'm going to have to try these next, 'cos the shoestring varieties are just not working out in the air-fryer. Floppy to dry twigs before you even notice. I miss the old fashioned chips from my UK childhood, but the hand-cut ones from Burger Lab in Parkdale are 9/10 for nostalgia value.

The shoestring get cold very quickly too for me (airfryer or oil).

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah the shoestring are shit. You gotta get the straight cut ones.
