What it is

They are made from dehydrated processed potatoes and are baked, not fried, which contributes to their crisp texture. The flavor is a savory blend of tangy sour cream and pungent onion, creating a classic snack combination. Each crisp is designed to stack neatly within its iconic cylindrical container.

How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional potato chips, these crisps are made from a dough that is pressed into a uniform shape before being baked. This process results in a consistent crispness and a less greasy texture compared to many fried chips. The specific flavor profile is a well-balanced mix of sour cream and onion.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any leftover crisps in the original can with the lid tightly sealed. Keep the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid refrigerating them, as this can affect their texture.
