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 allows them to cook more slowly and evenly. This results in a chip with a distinct texture and flavor. They are often thicker than standard potato chips. The cooking oil is also a key factor in their taste profile. They are a popular snack food enjoyed by many.
