These oven chips are definitely on the sweeter side, with a light amount of salt. However, our testers still felt they had a very natural potato flavour. Soft in the middle with a slightly chewy rather than crisp outside, the chips were a mix of thick and thin, but this resulted in a good combination of textures.

Thanks to the addition of turmeric, these slightly thinner chips have a particularly golden appearance.

Our testers enjoyed the satisfying, slightly sweet flavour with distinctively meaty notes reminiscent of classic fast-food restaurants – pair with a cheeseburger or ice-cream milkshake for the diner experience at home.

Score: 71/100

While the outside of these oven chips is savoury with earthy, beefy notes, the centre is sweet and starchy, creating a great contrast.

Some testers found the flavour a little too savoury overall, but that will come down to personal taste, and they enjoyed the crisp, flaky skin-on the outside and the soft, creamy centre.
