Utz Natural Gourmet Medley Kettle Cooked Potato Chips
What it is
These are kettle-cooked potato chips, meaning they are cooked in batches in hot oil. This method results in a thicker, crunchier chip with a more robust potato flavor compared to standard fried chips. The "Gourmet Medley" suggests a blend of potato varieties or seasonings, offering a more complex taste profile. Each bag contains a single serving, making them convenient for on-the-go snacking or portion control.
