What it is
These are kettle-cooked potato chips that feature the distinct flavor of jalapeno peppers. The kettle cooking process results in a thicker, crunchier chip compared to standard fried varieties. The jalapeno seasoning provides a spicy kick that is balanced with the savory potato taste. They are a popular choice for those who enjoy a bit of heat in their snacks.
