Kettle Cooked Potato Chips
What it is
These are potato chips made using a traditional kettle cooking method. Slices of potato are fried in small batches. This process allows them to absorb less oil compared to continuous frying. The result is a chip with a distinct crunch and a satisfying texture. They are often seasoned with simple ingredients to highlight the potato flavor.
