Chipsy salt - ملح شيبسى

The Chipsy salted (Chipsy mihl) are produced with medium size fresh potatoes from Egypt. Since 1961, Egypt's irrigated potato production from the Nile delta has been increasing until Egypt became Africa's number 1 potato producer in 2007.

Chipsy in Egypt, as for Walkers in the UK, belongs to Lay's, a PepsiCo owned company since 1965.

Very well peeled - no skin traces - the potatoes are sliced flat and thin. Then each chip is baked in (unspecified) vegetable oil and generously salted.

An intense flavour arises from the interior of the bag at opening. The potato chips are of a light yellow uniform colour, almost translucent, and have a subtle crunch, as expected due to its fineness.

A splendid choice to enjoy on any of the fantastic Egyptian spots on both the Mediterranean and the Red Sea.
