Lay's Kettle Cooked Aged Cheddar & Black Pepper Potato Chips
What it is
These are kettle-cooked potato chips, meaning they are cooked in batches in hot oil. This method often results in a thicker, crunchier chip compared to standard fried chips. The flavor profile combines the sharp taste of aged cheddar with the subtle heat and aroma of black pepper. The lattice cut creates a unique texture and allows more surface area for the seasoning to adhere.
