Tirtikli Cipso - Doğuş

Doğuş produces undulated salted potato chips, in Turkish: Tirtikli Sade Patates Cipsi.

Gold potatoes harvested in Turkish fertile lands are peeled, washed and crinkle cut before being baked in abundant palm oil. After being cooked, the chips have a straw yellow colour. Once in the mouth the chips offer very little resistance, the crunch being subtle and soft. Each chip feels very juicy and proportionally salted.

Very correct middle-east chips to taste with Anatolian cuisine, experiencing first-hand hospitality while sailing along its turquoise Mediterranean waters.

Potatischips saltade - Ikea

Who would have said that a Scandinavian furniture manufacturer can also sell such good snacks? The food market in every Ikea store is really worth a visit. For this review we bought Potatischips saltade, Ikea's salty potato chips.

These Ikea potatoes are small and medium sized, some brown skin edge left, cut flat and well baked in unspecified vegetable oil. The chips are thick, hard, with different toasting levels and colours. Once in our mouth the taste is quite good, abundantly salted and with a slight rancid flavour that does not take away the pleasure of crunching the chips one after the other. Fully recommendable as a reward after successfully mounting some of their furniture...
