What it is
These are ridged potato chips seasoned with a mesquite barbecue flavor. The ridges are designed to hold more seasoning and provide a satisfying crunch. They are a popular snack option for those who enjoy bold, smoky, and slightly sweet flavors. The chips are made from sliced potatoes and fried to a crisp texture. The mesquite BBQ seasoning blend aims to replicate the taste of barbecue cooked over mesquite wood, offering a distinct smoky profile.

Their sturdy, ridged texture makes them suitable for scooping up thicker dips without breaking easily.
