Kettle Cooked Original Potato Chips
What it is
These potato chips are made using a kettle cooking method, which involves frying potatoes in small batches at a lower temperature for a longer time. This process results in a distinctively crunchy texture and a rich potato flavor. They are seasoned simply to highlight the natural taste of the potato and the cooking process. The chips are typically thicker cut than standard potato chips.
