Roundy's Original Salted Kettle Chips
What it is
These are thick-cut potato chips, cooked in small batches. They are seasoned with salt to bring out the natural potato flavor. The kettle cooking process gives them a satisfyingly crunchy texture that is distinct from other types of chips. They are a classic snack option.
How people cook with it
Kettle chips are a versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a larger meal. Their sturdy texture makes them suitable for various culinary applications.
- Served alongside sandwiches
- Crumbled over salads
- Dipped into hummus
- Enjoyed straight from the bag
Open the bag and serve the chips at room temperature. They are ready to eat directly from the packaging. For a more enhanced experience, pair them with dips such as onion dip, sour cream and chive, or a spicy salsa. They can also be used as a crunchy topping for casseroles or baked dishes, adding texture and flavor. Their robust nature means they hold up well when incorporated into various recipes.
How it differs from similar foods
Kettle chips are typically thicker and have a more irregular shape than standard potato chips. The cooking method results in a firmer, more brittle crunch. This process often leads to a slightly chewier texture in some areas, offering a different mouthfeel compared to lighter, airier chips.
Who it is for
Home cooks and snack enthusiasts often reach for these chips for their satisfying crunch and simple flavor.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining chips in their original bag, ensuring it is sealed tightly to maintain freshness. Keep the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help preserve their crispness and prevent them from becoming stale.
