Alexia Yukon Gold Julienne Fries with Sea Salt
Cooked in 20 minutes, these thin golden batons were slightly blotchy - pale in spots, almost black in others. Some still had their skins on, but this didn't add much to the flavour. The texture was inconsistent - while some came out crisp, some were soggy and others were dry.

Aunt Bessie's Homestyle Chips
Thick and chunky, these lightly battered chips were a lovely golden brown and had a pleasant crunchy bite. Inside, however, they were heavy and almost gummy in texture. The paprika extract colouring gave them a disconcertingly yellow colour. These chips had no discernible flavour to speak of.
