What it is
These potato chips offer a unique flavor profile inspired by the popular Mexican street food, carnitas. They are made from thinly sliced potatoes that are fried until crisp and then seasoned with a blend of spices designed to mimic the savory, slightly sweet, and smoky taste of slow-cooked pork carnitas. The wavy cut adds a satisfying texture and helps hold the seasoning.
