A recent taste test has pitted Tesco's own-brand frozen chips against McDonald's famous fries, with surprising results. The Tesco 'Home-Style Straight-Cut Oven Chips', priced at £2.65 per bag, were recently named 'Best Bargain' option, prompting a comparison with the fast-food giant's offering.
The reviewer, a self-confessed skinny fry enthusiast, was initially sceptical due to the chips' thicker cut. However, after cooking them in an air fryer for 25 minutes, they were impressed by the even browning and texture. The chips were described as having a crunchy exterior and a light, fluffy interior, reminiscent of pub-style chips.
While the reviewer admitted that McDonald's fries remain their top choice, they praised the Tesco chips for their earthy flavour and convenience. The product has received a 4.4-star rating on Tesco's website, with customers noting it is 'much nicer than the leading brand equivalent'.
For those seeking a budget-friendly alternative to fast-food fries, these Tesco chips appear to be a worthy contender, offering a satisfying crunch and fluffy centre at a fraction of the cost.
