Borough Market, told The Telegraph: The potatoes are coming out smaller because of the drought in July and August. We buy our potatoes off a company that just finished harvesting this week but they think its 15 to 20 percent down this year. The width is still there but the length isnt what it was last year.
I'd say the chips are around 10 percent shorter. This is because the whole potato is smaller, so there's less to cut from.
