homemade CHIPS vs FROZEN chips | AIRFRYER cooking

[@JanetDrewery-q4c]

Kerry I’m old school I cook my chips in beef dripping in chip pan best chips ever I do frozen as well I’m glad you’re doing both Love watching you and I make extra chips and cook in Air Fryer next day really good

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thanks Janet🥰that reminds me if my grans chip pan - best chips ever 😋😋😋

[@hazelkinvig-paul8231]

I do love how you just tell it like it is. You are right in saying that people should do what they want and that you don't make any excuses for what you like! I have tried to eat fairly healthily my whole life, and I have had cancer now 3 times (in fact I'm having chemo and radiotherapy at this time) the dietician told me to forget diets and worrying about eating healthily, she told me to just make sure I get my calories in so that I don't lose weight. So, while I can still eat properly (I won't be able to soon, I will have to use a feeding tube) but while I can I will be trying a lot of your food. TFS and have a great weekend! 👍💖

[@budgetcookinguk]

Hazel I'm so sorry to hear this💕💕interesting what the dietician said, makes sense - dieting must add stress and your body doesn't need added stress on top of it all. Much love and keep fighting 💪🥰💕

Hi Kerry thanks for this, ive only had my cosori for about two weeks ( my first airfryer) so i value all your lovely videos. I personally dont add oil to my frozen chips but its definitely down to everyones personal taste. Ive not tried the homemade yet but i will now ive watched you do it. I love my airfryer so far, i have health issues so i find it so much easier than using my oven and food tastes better too. Thankyou for sharing all these ideas i really appreciate you and i love your honesty and your chats :)

[@elizabethturnbull1537]

Hi Kerry, great comparison both chips looked tasty, loved the crunch!! Thank you take care.

[@mark-andrews]

I started using an air fryer about 18 months ago, I haven't bought in any frozen chips, or pre made crisps, since, easy to make and the home made version tastes so much better, imo.

[@janicehartley8525]

I have never made homemade chips in the air fryer, perhaps I should try them now. Yours looked delicious ❤

[@budgetcookinguk]

Aw thank you Janice😀💕💕

[@deeferry6520]

Thank you for sharing Kerry. I'm not keen on frozen chips, I always do homemade usually in the air fryer. I don't stir my chips but I do shake the basket several times to mix them up lol.

[@karentoynton8948]

Thank you. Xx homemade everytime for me. You get potato not what the frozen ones have been through. Dripping always was what was used in my younger days when mum cooked them in oil in a pan on the gas stove . They were lovely. Mum always used lard .or deep dripping .

[@budgetcookinguk]

Mums knew best Karen eh? True re frozen, heavily processed for sure!😀💕💕

[@j.brewer7717]

Hi Kerry, it's me again. Just had frozen chips and tried what you said, adding some oil😊 Before you all scoff, try it! It's a game changer. Thanks for that Kerry, won't be going back for quickness. Couldn't believe the difference😁 Jen xx

Home made make the best chip butties. I’ve been wanting to try them in the AF now I’ve seen this I’m doing them. Always had home made growing up remember mums chip pan and dripping ❤

[@budgetcookinguk]

Oh fab Karen😀👍💕I can recall my grans chip pan and chip sieve thingy that sat in the pan, the boiling fat used to be a bit unnerving lol

Try curry sauce in your butty 👌

[@anneperry9014]

Bring on the back in my day chips. That was since I was 10yrs old. Good old chip pan, cant beat it, ever. Thanks Kerry!!❤❤😋 PS. You will never beat chip pan proper chips!😋

[@petemullen842]

Watched this video earlier, I have made home-made chips before in air fryer, but never have they come up so nice. I put some lard in my fryer about the same amount as you did and copied you with the temperature and timing absolutely brilliant, came up nice and crispy soft in the centre and very very tasty. I also copied with the sea salt. Thank you very much. This is the way I shall be cooking my chips in future. Big thanks once again😋👍⚡️

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you Pete😀👍💕really appreciate that, glad it worked for you

[@KatytheNightOwl]

I rarely have chips but, like you, I prefer to taste beef dripping, so I always have some in the fridge - usually to cook Yorkshire puds, tbh! Lol Mind you, adding some beef dripping to frozen chips, is new to me, so the next time my daughter visits, I'll tell her to cook them that way - we both love beef dripping, & don't care about using it, as we rarely eat fast food! Lol I bought a Cosori 6.4L Dual Blaze, in 2022 - it's my first, & only, Air fryer so far - I'd love the double basket one, but it would be too much with just myself for most of the time, & I can cook almost a complete meal for myself (fish n chips, or something quick & easy for me) in the Dual Blaze! 👍

[@ElaineMarshall-bm9rl]

Can't beat chips cooked in dripping. Everybody has their own way of doing things. I grew up with grandparents. They always used lard or dripping. Everything tasted lovelyxx. I do prefer homemade chips. They looked goodx

[@badger999]

i only make home made chips now-days but i cook the taters in the micro for about 3-4 mins first. you seldom find mealy/starchy potatoes here so i have to use those ones that take well over 30 mins to cook and chips from raw just don't work :D

[@budgetcookinguk]

Maris piper cook well from raw but I'll have to try that microwaving first, help cut cooking time😀👍💕

[@elizabethturnbull1537]

Great comparison Kerry, both looked yummy!! Thank you take care.

[@judith4985]

Hi Kerry, Made some store-bought chips in my air fryer and used a bit of lard. What a difference!! They tasted much better! Thanks for the tip! 😋😊

[@leejohnson6448]

Chips made with lard are the best. Agree with you 100%

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you Lee😀👍💕

[@TheBluebirdkev]

You make a great advert for frozen chips. Take a look at other Air fryer chip clips.

[@chiccabay9911]

I like homemade with the skin on too and also add a squirt of oil to frozen chips.I have an "old fashioned" Tefal Actifry that is brilliant for chips and chicken wings because of the paddle that is constantly in motion.I have the turbo blaze (thanks to you) and it also does a good job.Thanks,love your demos. xx

[@rosa-f4865]

Home made chips are the best that's a good idea adding lard or oil to the frozen chips because I always find frozen chips very dry. Thanks Kerry have a lovely weekend 🌹🐈Xxxx

[@harrygood4783]

Hi Kerry, I tend to steam my potato chippies first to start the cooking of the middle part of the chippie, cause putting them in water makes the whole chippie wet and the starch sticks to the outside, i then spray them with oil while they are still warmwith a 1/4 tea spoon of tumric for colour, give them a good shake, before banging the chippies in a hot tray from the air oven with a bit of 'suzy' salt on them : )

[@jenniferfarrah3134]

Ooh , the home made looked the best definitely & I will be try the lard , I only have the frozen as convenient . Love your honesty . And thanks for tip , to be able to reheat 👍😘

[@trowbridgeist]

Hi There Dear Kerry , Home made every Time The potatoes can make so many different delicious meals and a good price is much better if you can get a large sack from a farm or butcher shop and they will keep .❤Good for a Family you will always have a meal when there Hungry ❤

[@j.brewer7717]

Hi Kerry, home made every time and I quite agree with you about the extra oil/lard when using ready made. Adds that extra something😁 see you on the next one, byee 👋Jen 💕😘xx

[@jacquelinesherlock2274]

People are weird aren't they, thinking they have the right to tell you how to do things! I stir my chips too and love the way it fluffs them up a little bit so you get crunchy bits, yummm😊

[@budgetcookinguk]

Love the crunchy bits from the slightly battered chip Jacqueline 😋💕 they're the best bits (with lashings of vinegar and salt) yum!

[@jacquelinesherlock2274]

[@judith4985]

Hi Kerry, I have a Vista ActiFry air fryer that makes the best homemade chips. I bought a Ninja and have yet to try the homemade chips in it. It will be interesting to compare the two. I’ve used oil but not lard. I’ll give that a try. Chips for breakfast!! 👍🏻 😋😊

[@budgetcookinguk]

Haha yes, that sounds great Judith😀👍💕

[@dilsie3268]

Hi Kerry, Everyone loves a good chip don’t they ❤ unfortunately I can’t cook in base of my Cosori but I might try oil spraying the Frozen chips. I guess I could perhaps look for a foil container to fit the basket and put fat in and try homemade xxx

[@budgetcookinguk]

Good plan😀👍💕

[@maureenwilliams4683]

Yum chips, I’m drooling 🤤

[@jennifermharvey9882]

I buy Maris piper from our local farmers they are so much fresher and I love it that they come with the skins on them and they last such a long time

[@budgetcookinguk]

My fav potato 😋😋😄👍💕

[@tommoxerrey5522]

Good video , I think fresh chips always win , just can't beat them for taste . Always leave skin on mine as well .

[@terraterrestrial5709]

I always use beef dripping for my chips, it makes for the best taste. I was using chip fryer on hob but bought an air fryer and the taste is just as amazing.

[@pikricky]

I always use Maris Piper potatoes for my home made chips Kerry and like you it's skin on,I have to use 1 cal spray as Carol attends a slimming class so all my cooking is done with that,I do mine at 200 for about 20 minutes and they come out golden but not crispy as the 1 cal sprays don't crisp the food,I shake mine about 4 times during that 20 minutes,I do have frozen chips in the freezer that I use if I'm eating on my own,more convenient,another really enjoyable video flower Xx

[@Janet-g1y]

Some frozen chips have a coating, flour, corn flour, semolina something like that, that helps them crisp up. I never realised it until I did some for a person with celiac and they couldn’t have them. So home made all the way now.

[@faithharper1756]

My favourite were always deep fried homemade chips. Now it is homemade, air fried with spray oil. Not as good tastewise but come pretty close and keep me at my target weight on Slimming World. xx

Oil oi stranger. First time you've popped up on my feed in aaaages. Those chips look lush.

😂😂 Darn youtube algorithm lol. Anyway helloooooo👋😀❤

[@jacquelinebuist1128]

Evening Kerry, I prefer homemade chips, but it depends what you're having them with also, I think. I used to peel and cut my potatoes to chips and steep them in cold water all day until ready to cook them, then pat them dry and season, then cook. Nothing beats a good "tottie chip" (homemade chip 😂). I definitely agree that adding some kind of oil to frozen chips makes a difference. Have a lovely weekend, Kerry xxxx Jacs 💚❤️

[@budgetcookinguk]

Hiya Jacs, defo😀👍💕 me too, soak for hours lol now I cut and throw in, without peeling. Comes out delish, the cosori dual blaze (single one) is ace for chips & roasties. You too! (I've emailed you😉💕)

[@jacquelinebuist1128]

@budgetcookinguk I think it was actually you. I saw doing that the first time tbh 🤣🤣. I'm not keen on skin on, but that's just personal preference. I usually make mine in my salter as it's the bigger basket out the 3 but it has air holes in the actual basket as the basket clips into the drawer with the handle attached, so it means you have to spray the chips rather than coat them in melted lard etc. Anyway I'm waffling haha. I've emailed you back xxxx 💚❤️
