Packaging
The fries are in a red bag which also clearly displays the product found within the bag along with other useful information such as being made with sunflower oil and each bag weighing 1kg
Product Test
Opening the bag is pretty easy with a knife or scissors, once inside i like to tip the fries onto my oven tray if i am handling other food at that time and am in a rush as the crispy coating can leave your hands feeling slightly greasy, I rarely find fries to be frozen together and whenever they are they are easily pulled apart without breaking, next I pre heat my Zannusi fan oven to 190 degrees and leave the fries to cook for between 14-16 minutes

Taste Test
These taste great and I put that down to the crispy coating, Lidl sell similar fries but if i remember the only ingredients for the Lidl ones are potato and sunflower oil and the taste difference is noticeable, these Champion fries taste much better as they have more bite and flavour than the Lidl ones which are kind of bland in comparison, but the Lidl ones are a good second option.

I think what makes the champion fries taste so good is obviously down to the crispy coating which consists of spice extracts and seasonings along with a couple of other ingredients which can all be found on the back of the pack
Final Verdict
At 59p for a 1kg bag of great tasting fries, I see no reason why someone should not give these a go, I have not tasted the brand leading fries in years so can not compare these to McCain but at 59p I would suggest you give them a try if you are looking for something new, great tasting and something affordable which is exactly what these fries are
