These potato chips are crafted using a traditional kettle cooking method. This process involves frying potatoes in small batches at a lower temperature for a longer duration. The result is a distinctively crunchy texture and a satisfyingly robust potato flavor. They are typically seasoned with simple ingredients to highlight the natural taste of the potato. This method often leads to a slightly irregular shape and a satisfyingly hearty bite.
