Their straightforward flavor makes them a good accompaniment to dips, though they are also designed to be flavorful enough to stand alone without any additions.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fried potato chips, these crisps are baked, which means they absorb less oil during preparation. This results in a lighter, less greasy feel. The texture is still crisp, but it can be perceived as airier. The flavor profile remains true to a classic potato chip but with the subtle difference that comes from the baking method.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any remaining crisps in their original bag, ensuring it is sealed tightly. Keep the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid refrigerating them, as this can affect their texture. Properly stored, they will retain their satisfying crunch for several days.
