Ain't they great?
Tasty, healthy and easy to make. OK, so they aren't really healthy but who gives a shit.
How to make them better though? Anybody have any tips on how to make them crispier and more delicious than they already are?

No but I love the way we had chips in Belgium.....crisply cooked and covered in fried onions, ketchup and the best mayonaise I have ever had, they were awesome.

I think you'll find that's an urban myth. They are one of the healthiest, least fattening foods its possible to find. Anything you hear to the contrary is propaganda put out by the health food maufacturers. |

Potato wedges (chips by any other name) with mayo and bbq sauce are the future.

They are magnificent. My local chippie is a particular favourite as their portions are medium (£1.50, enough to feed an elephant for a week) and large (£2.20, enough to solve world hunger).
As for making them yourself, you can nick Heston Blumenthal's method of simmering them in salt water before frying, which works really well but is a bit of a faff.

I bought a Tefal Actifry, which only uses a spoonful of sunflower oil and makes perfect, healthy(ish) chips. I love it.

We recently bought one of these and have done them this way once (we don't often eat chips TBF) and they make great healthier chips. (ok I feel for the food police version of them being unhealthy!) |

I got shit bacon for admitting to a bit of "healthy" bacon. Surely Gnasher needs "girly chips" for this! |
