Roast Potatoes vs Chips: Which Should You Choose?

Roast potatoes and chips are both popular comfort foods, but they offer a different eating experience.

Texture and taste

Good roast potatoes have a crisp golden shell and a fluffy middle. Chips come in many styles, from thin and crunchy to thick and soft.

Does one have to be healthier?

Not automatically. Cooking method, added fat, salt, portion size and sauces all matter. The NHS advises that potatoes can be part of a balanced diet when prepared with modest amounts of fat.

Why choose roast potatoes?

They are brilliant with herbs, gravy and hearty toppings. If you are curious, see the Spud Box roast potato menu and find us in East Molesey.
