What it is
These are thick-cut potato chips made using a traditional kettle cooking method. This process involves frying the potatoes in small batches at a lower temperature for a longer time. This results in a chip that is exceptionally crunchy and has a satisfyingly robust potato flavor. The chips are typically seasoned with simple ingredients to highlight the quality of the potatoes and the cooking technique. They offer a substantial texture that sets them apart from lighter, airier chips.

How to keep the rest
