Hand cooked chips sea salt - Kettle brand

Big, thick unbroken chips is what we find inside the Traditional Hand Cooked Kettle brand chips bag. Probably unbroken due to the ultra resistant sealed bag, so far the toughest bag of chips to open before any review.

The potatoes for this Kettle chips are peeled and later flat cut in quite thick slices. Then hand cooked in small batches in sunflower oil. This results in a hard crust chip, slightly brittle, and a harmonious crunch. Several chips are stuck together, what still increases the hardness and thickness sensation. 

Very simply seasoned with a pinch of fresh sea salt, the whole ensemble is definitely a runner-up to be amongst the best of its class. Simple is better: Crisps&Critics can only agree with Kettle's commercial.
