Making chips

[blonde_sue]

Hi I'm just wondering are homemade chips a lot better in points?
I'm confused on to how to point them.. do I have to weigh after cooking as they are baked? Or are they less points then baked potatoes?
I use the free spray oil

I find yes. I weigh them before and go on the 50g = 1pp rule. And for a guide- from what I've found, 100g oven chips usually 3pp, 100g southern fries 8pp, 100g beer battered chips (my favourites) also 8pp.

thanks hun, so making your own are slightly lower

Yep plus I find they taste better and don't leave me wanting more of them

Yeah I really like them too I leave the skins on is that extra?

No, as far as I'm aware that's included in the 50g I always leave the skins on mine.
