These should give you a general idea:

Potatoes, chips, frozen, oven, 100g cooked 4
Potatoes, chips, fish & chip shop, 227g serving 17½
Potatoes, chips, frozen, microwave, 100g cooked 7
Fish & Chip Shops, Chips, average portion, 227g standard 17½
Fish & Chip Shops, Chips, average portion, 340g large 26
Potatoes, chips, frozen, thin cut, deep fried, 100g 14

Potatoes, chips, frozen, straight cut, deep fried, 100g 9½
Potatoes, chips, homemade, average thickness, deep fried, 100g 5

The average size of one medium potato is about 250g, so I'd guess around 15 syns upwards for a regular portion.

Is a raw potato the same weight as a cooked one? I imagine cooked ones are lighter.

Also it depends on if the canteen lady is in a good mood. Our likes me and gives me an extra scoop lol. Sad as it is one day I'll work out the syns per say 5 chips, as currently those 5 I steal from OH's plate are free!

I think the numbers about the weight of an average chippy portion give a good enough idea " 227g standard; 340g large"
