There's only one secret to the re-heating of soggy chips and that is.... drive the moisture off. As they sit, they suck in moisture and the crispy fried skin we love them for gets weak and soggy.

Everyone is looking for the magic answer. Well here you go, just heat up a big pan, toss in the tiniest bit of oil and give those chips a fry on two sides. This will drive the moisture out, firm up the skin and give them back their crispness. They'll be like new in no time - making those chips go further, getting rid of the soggy texture and saving you a trip to the shops.

And THAT is a really useful kitchen hack.
