Essential Crinkle Cut Oven Chips

What is it?

Crinkle-cut potato chips for the oven come frozen and ready to tip straight onto a tray. Made from potato, these chips have ridged edges that hold onto oil and seasoning a little differently from straight-cut chips, with a thicker shape that usually gives a softer centre and more surface area. Waitrose’s Essential range keeps things plain and practical, and these sit alongside the brand’s other frozen potato options rather than the fancier, seasoned versions. Bake from frozen until hot and crisp, turning once if you want even colouring.
