I've recently been buying 'skin on chunky chips' from the high street frozen food shop, so when I was doing my Trashco delivery I saw a similar thing pop-up on their site, and ordered it. Operator error alert!!!!
Delivery was at 9pm last night, woo hoo full cupboards and fridge again 

Thing is, the chips aren't frozen - basically they're just pre-cut potatoes, no oil, nothing - 

So should I coat them in oil and part cook them, before I freeze them?

Instructions online seem to be...

Pat freshly cut potatoes dry (ignore if store bought I assume?)
Blanch in boiling water for 2 mins
Quench in very cold (or iced) water
Pat dry with kitchen paper
Lightly coat with oil inside a plastic bag
Freeze in a single layer on a tray
Transfer to bag once frozen
Bake or deep fry from frozen

next time, cut up potato into wedges, lightly oil, I paprika or curry powder as well and cook at 200 for 20-30 mins turning occ.
