Cape Cod Sea Salt Potato Chips
What it is
These are thick-cut potato chips made from whole potatoes. They are kettle-cooked, which gives them a satisfying crunch. The chips are seasoned with sea salt, offering a simple yet distinct flavor. The potatoes are sliced and then fried in small batches. This cooking method helps to maintain the potato's natural taste and texture. The sea salt provides a clean, briny finish that complements the potato flavor without being overpowering. They are a classic snack option.
