Patatas fritas Extra Crujientes - Hacendado

We would have never thought an own brand generalist supermarket crisps could taste that good. These potatoes have been fried on sunflower oil (28%) after being cut flat and thick. Such a thickness together to the huge proportion of bent, double and curled chips not only result in a quite high crunchiness score (106dB): the crunchiness perception at every bite multiplies in our mouth. 

The price/quality ratio is more than acceptable. The only thing we miss is a bit of a "frying stall" flavour to make these potatoes perfect. All in all, these crisps do really make honours to its label: "extra crujientes" (extra crunchy) and place clearly above average.

Patatas Fritas al estilo tradicional - Hacendado

The crisps of the white-label brand "Hacendado traditional style" are soft and discreet.  Soft because they are mildly fried with sunflower oil. Discreet because its cut, flat and thin, provides us with a weak but interesting crunch. 

Inside the brown paper bag, that reminds us of a grocery paper bag, we find two plastic bags of 150g each. Very convenient when we only want some crisps for a bite before/between main meals. Good Spanish potato crisps at a very reasonable price.
