How it differs from similar foods
Kettle cooked chips are distinct due to their cooking method, which involves cooking potatoes in batches in a kettle. This method creates a thicker, more robust chip with a satisfyingly hard crunch.

How to keep the rest

Avoid refrigerating, as this can affect the texture. Proper storage helps preserve the intended crunch and flavor.
