Sunland Farm - Kelly's

The first review from Austria goes to the Sunland Farm Naturally Salted Chips, from Kelly's. 


It passed our review with honours. We had to read again and again at the ingredients list behind the bag to confirm that the excellent potato flavour of these chips is really authentic: no added flavours. 


Each chip has consistency and is crunchy hard: is it due to the Saratoga Springs original recipe? First, unpeeled Austrian potatoes go on a salty bath. Afterwards the chips are cooked on sunflower oil. Of course, the salt comes also from the Austrian Alps.

Special mention to another very well packed product: the Kelly's Airpack keeps the chips fresh and unbroken.

Boxerchips - Savagely Salted but not indecently so

Definitely a plus point for the Boxerchips: The original and patented cardboard packaging keeps all chips unbroken. Additionally the packaging can be used as a tray, very practical for sharing the snack with others. However, the cardboard’s smell mixes a bit with the crisps flavour, what can be weird for those that like us, at Crisps&Critics, open the potato bag and take a deep breath...

Boxerchips thickness and curl is very varied. We also find chips partly unpeeled. It gives the impression the potatoes have been manually processed.


Positively surprised, and contrary to expectations (packaging reading “Savagely Salted”), these crisps are just right salted with marine salt, allowing us to enjoy the great taste of these selected potatoes fried with sunflower oil.
