These are potato chips made using a kettle cooking method. This process involves frying potato slices in small batches at a lower temperature for a longer time. This results in a chip that is generally thicker and has a satisfying crunch. The chips are then seasoned with various flavors, offering a range of taste experiences beyond plain salted varieties. They are a popular snack choice for many occasions.
