I don't like oven chips so we have full on cooked in the pan chips
My reckoning is, when I make chips, there's just two ingredients, potatoes and oil, nothing else. The other thing is, I've cut so much other junk from my life that chips once a week or two isn't going to kill me or make much of a difference either way. And thirdly, if I fill my (small) plate up with lots of salad or veg, there's not much room to go mad with the chips so a handful is plenty
That's how I look at it
if on the other hand I'm thinking I want a chip and it's not chip day, rather then oven chips, I make sweet potato wedges. Cut them, a tiny drip of oil to just about coat them where it touches, a sprinkle of salt and paprika and in the oven for 20-30 minutes. They taste nothing like chips so I don't feel cheated

plus they are a veg and because they are orange they are supposed to be good for you
