Market District Kettle Cooked Potato Chips
What it is
These are thick-cut potato chips that are cooked in small batches. The kettle cooking process involves frying the potatoes in oil at a lower temperature for a longer time. This method allows the chips to absorb less oil and develop a satisfyingly crunchy texture. They are typically seasoned after cooking to enhance their flavor. This approach results in a robust and hearty chip that stands out from thinner varieties.
