    You can't throw French fries out but still consider crinkle cut.

    Standard straight cut all the way. French fries with loads of salt 2nd.

    We had straight cut homemade oven chips last night baked with paprika and they were lovely, if you go on YouTube there are some very easy recipes to jazz up your chips.

    NO right answer to this. It's 'horses for courses' surely!

    e.g. Home made medium cut chips (preferably using Maris Piper cooked in Beef dripping for Fish 'n chips) Twice or thrice times cooked! Bought frozen stringy chips cooked in sunflower oil for burgers and steaks. Then there are McCain large fries (like thick crunchy Crisps.)

    Oven cooked or air fried are IMO a travesty!

    OK let me put it another way. You're led into a room where there is a table. On it is a bag of crinkle cut chips and a bag of straight cut chips. You are told to choose your favourite. No lip about 'horses for courses' or they shoot you.

    Actually if it came to that you'd have a lot more than chips to worry about.

    Straight twice cooked for me. The best "jockeys whips" ever are available at " the Thyme Bistro"
    at Cannon Hall Garden Centre. Absolutely legendary. Regular visitors pre- the Pandemic always had
    a large ramakin of " jockeys, " plate, fork, vinegar and some Heinz ketchup all washed
    down with a large Illy Cappucino. What more could anyone want.?

    Peel spuds, straight cut with a knife and deep fried at home. Cook for 20 minutes at about 110 then turn up to 140 for the last 10 minutes. To die for...

    Always cut our own chips, always fried. You can’t beat em.

    Any chip you’ve pulled out of a frozen bag are garbage. Crinkled or otherwise. And cooked in the oven? My Christ.

    Have some respect.
