I will admit, hower, to baking julienned spuds in the oven with olive oil, pepper and salt.

It's too much hassle. What do you do with those left over pints of oil? Come on are you serious about making chips at home, and all that smoke and left over oil/fat from frying. It’s too much hassle.

Despite the blatant food facism, I have to agree with you on the fillet/porterhouse debate BUT give me a ribeye or flatiron any time over a porterhouse ;p Uncle Monty has very discriminating tastes!

We use peanut oil, which is stable at frying temperatures, then we strain, store and reuse. Our chips only have three ingredients - potato,oil and salt; maccas can't say that, in fact they are being sued for not revealing all....if you are a celiac or vegetarian, you may not want to eat the chips. I guess the hassle factor depends on your point of view, I find it easier and quicker to peel, chip and fry a potato, than I do to get in the car and drive to maccas.

For us, we use the fillet with the economy name, Scotch. Maccas chips, you're kidding me. Nice as they are, nothing beats home made.
