Wimpy Chips

What is it?

Thick-cut potato chips, served hot as Wimpy’s standard side, come in the familiar fast-food format with a soft centre and a deeper golden exterior. They’re cut wider than skinny fries, so there’s more potato in each bite and a bit more surface for seasoning and crisping. Compared with thinner fries in the chain’s lineup, these lean sturdier and hold their shape well alongside burgers and other mains. In the UK, chips like these are usually fried from prepared potato and salted before serving, so the texture lands somewhere between crisp edges and a fluffy middle.
