Inaugural ChampionChips competition opens for entries

Lamb Weston has launched a brand new industry competition, ChampionChips, encouraging chefs to share their most exciting potato recipes.

The contest invites chefs from across foodservice and hospitality to submit their most original creations using the supplier's range of fries, chips and potato shapes. Judged by a panel of industry experts, three winners will be selected from four categories, with first place from each receiving £1,000 cash, plus exclusive prizes from Lamb Weston. 

To enter, chefs must create their dish using Lamb Weston's potato products, submitting a photo and cooking method to champion-chips.co.uk before Friday 5 August. 

All entries will be judged by the panel based on flavour and texture, visual intriugue, innovation and creativity, and commercial viability. On top of the four first place prizes, four second place prizes of £500 cash and four third place prizes of £250 cash will be offered.
