Buying crisps and frozen chips online is convenient, but a large range doesn't always make choosing any easier. Whether you're after potato crisps for a film night, a snack box for a party, or frozen chips for a quick meal, portion size, ingredients, allergens and cooking method are the key things to consider.
Also, watch out for marketing language. A packet labelled "extra crispy", "light" or "artisan" doesn't automatically tell you anything about the taste, nutritional values or whether it's right for your needs. So compare the product information rather than just the front of the packet.
A multipack or snack box might look appealing because of the number of bags, but always check the total weight and the weight per portion. A box of 15 small bags can be handy for a family or party, while a large bag may work out better value for home use. With frozen chips, look at the price per kilo, not just the price per packet.
Some brands present baked crisps as an alternative to fried crisps. According to Yan Jin Pu Zi's own product information, the O-Potao range uses baking technology to reduce oil absorption. That's a product claim from the brand, not a general guarantee about nutritional value. Always check the table per 100g.
For example, the O-Potao Tomato Flavour contains 24g of fat per 100g according to the product description, while the Lay's Big Wave Crispy Fried Chicken Flavor lists 33.3g of fat per 100g. That doesn't automatically make one choice right for everyone, but the difference is something you can check.
Paprika crisps, barbecue crisps, spicy crisps and corn snacks often contain spice blends with extra ingredients. Think milk powder, soya, wheat, mustard or sulphites. The Lay's Big Wave Crispy Fried Chicken Flavor, for instance, lists wheat, milk and soya. With Lay's Patatje Joppie, mustard is listed as an allergen.
If you need to be mindful of allergies, it's a good idea to check the full product page and the label when it arrives. Product compositions can change.
Choose the size based on when you'll be enjoying the snack:
A snack box with ready-salted crisps, paprika crisps and cheese-style corn snacks offers variety at a party. For a daily treat, an individual bag can help you keep track of how much you're having.
The cut affects the eating experience. Crinkle-cut chips and ridged crisps have more surface area and often feel firmer. The Lay's Big Wave range uses a ridged shape; according to the product description, the crisp is cut thicker. The Aviko Supercrunch Curl Fries have a curly, coated shape.
Thin chips generally heat up quickly. Thick chips, oven chips and curly chips often need longer to cook. Always follow the temperature and time on the packet, as appliances vary.
Check whether the chips are suitable for:
Don't defrost frozen chips beforehand unless the packet says to. Once defrosted, the product should not be refrozen according to the product information provided. For crisps, a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight is important. Seal an opened bag well to keep the crunchy texture for longer.
Why this fits the profile: The 1kg pack is practical for several meals and makes it easy to compare on price per kilo. The mini chips are suitable for a range of cooking methods.
The clear total weight stops you from only looking at the packet price.
1kg content; according to the product information, 96% potatoes and 4% sunflower oil.

The product description clearly states cooking in a deep fat fryer, oven or air fryer.
750g; curly crinkle-cut chips; suitable for oven, air fryer and deep fat fryer.

The product name and description make the intended cooking method clear, so you're less likely to pick the wrong size.
750g; designed for cooking in the air fryer; none of the 14 main EU allergens listed in the product information.
Why this fits the profile: The small bags of ridged crisps, ready-salted crisps and cheese-style corn snacks are easy to hand round at a drinks party or children's party.
The portions are pre-divided, so an opened large bag doesn't have to sit around for long.

We've put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and current European safety regulations.
That depends on the packet, promotions, delivery costs and the total weight. Compare multipacks and snack boxes on price per bag or per 100g. With frozen chips, the price per kilo is a useful measure. Also check whether ordering several products together works out more cost-effective.
Products with "air fryer" in the name, such as Aviko Airfryer French Fries or g'woon Air Fryer French Fries, are a logical starting point. Some oven chips and curly chips are also suitable for the air fryer. Always use the instructions on the packet and don't overfill the basket; that can lead to uneven cooking.
Store crisps in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Seal an opened bag well. Frozen chips should go back in the freezer as soon as possible and stay frozen until use. Check the packaging on arrival and follow the storage and best-before information on the label.
