Hello Steve...

...
They are frozen French Fries, (very cheap, and quick).
I pop them into a basket in my frying "saucepan" containing Vegetable oil ready brought up to temperature.
Fry them vigorously for about 3-5 minutes, keeping an eye on them to make sure they are the right "colour!" and reasonably crisp? and drain them on a paper kitchen towel.
Quick, cheap, and cheerful...goes nice with a fried egg/fish fingers/fish cakes, etc...and some Tomato ketchup!
...and crusty bread and butter...
