Cape Cod Kettle Cooked Potato Chips
What it is
These are thick-cut potato chips cooked in small batches. The kettle cooking process involves frying the chips in oil at a lower temperature for a longer time. This method results in a distinctively crunchy texture and a satisfyingly hearty bite. They are made from simple ingredients, focusing on the quality of the potato and the cooking method.
How people cook with it

Their sturdy texture holds up well, making them a versatile accompaniment to many casual meals.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike thinner, mass-produced chips, kettle-cooked chips are known for their substantial crunch and irregular shapes. The slower cooking process allows them to absorb less oil, contributing to a cleaner flavor profile and a more robust texture that resists breaking easily.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any remaining chips in their original bag, tightly sealed. Keep the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid refrigerating, as this can make the chips soggy.
