Beer-battered, crinkle, shoestring or straight cut? Australia’s hot chip obsession has been put to a blind taste test, with consumer advocacy group Choice picking clear winners from more than 30 supermarket frozen chips.

The test included 34 types of frozen chips sourced from Woolworths, Coles, Aldi and IGA, which were cooked in air fryers to ensure the fastest and crispiest results.
