Kettle Cooked Potato Chips
What it is
These are potato chips made using a specific cooking method. The potatoes are sliced and then fried in small batches. This process is often done at a lower temperature for a longer time compared to standard chip production. The result is a thicker, crunchier chip with a distinct texture. They are typically seasoned after cooking to enhance their flavor.
