They'll be synned, how much depends on what make and product they are. If theyre the cheap ones itll probably be quite a lot, they have a lot of oil in. If you post the exact name someone will look them up for you.

If there is definitely no oil in them then they should be free, but I have never seen pre-cut chips without oil in. Is there no type of oil listed AT ALL in the Ingredients list? 
The only Asda Smart Price chips I can see are these ones which have vegetable oil in as the second ingredient, 3%.
They are 4 syns per 100g
100g is hardly anything btw - works out at 62.5 syns per 1.5kg pack.

If they have oil on them, it will say so clearly on the list of ingredients.

You sure they werent SW chips ie just potatoes chipped up & roasted in Fry Light? If it has oil in you have to syn the oil, end of.

But she had just bought pre cut potatoes in a bag from asda like OP stated.. when she said chips I think she might have just meant potatoes?

Like I said "You sure they werent SW chips ie just potatoes chipped up & roasted in Fry Light? If it has oil in you have to syn the oil, end of."
If the bag of pre-cut chips was just potato that's fine but if there is oil in the Ingredients list they are not free.

I know I have said this before, earlier today, but I make no apology for saying it again - we do have to read the very small print on the back of the package. Manufacturers are obliged to tell us all the ingredients, but they don't seem to make it easy to read. So we have to squint at it, or get the magnifying glass out, but read it we must if we are going to know what we are eating!
