Kettle Cooked Potato Chips
What it is
These potato chips are made using a traditional kettle cooking method. This process involves frying potatoes in small batches at a lower temperature for a longer time. This results in a thicker, crunchier chip with a satisfying bite. The potatoes are typically sliced thicker before frying, contributing to their robust texture. They are often seasoned with simple ingredients to highlight the potato flavor.
