Patatas fritas estilo Churrería - Frit Ravich

Estilo churrería -“frying stall” style - is the name the Frit Ravich's marketing department has chosen for these potato chips. At Crisps&Critics we have tried crisps whose flavour matched better such labeling.

Still, these chips are cut thin and translucent, with some interesting curls and many bubbles. They crunch very nicely in our mouth, feeling light and good. Really. Fried with enough sunflower oil and a bit over salted, we can only guess a well selected potato flavour.

Lightly sea salted crisps - Tyrrells

According to Tyrrell's elegant explanation on the packaging, the potatoes are cut flat "leaving the jacket on" (unpeeled), and then hand-cooked in sunflower oil in small batches.  

It's crunch is noble, allegedly achieved through a sophisticated spun in the baking process. The chips are thick and feel hard, have a pale yellow colour and are really very slightly salted (0.5% salt), what lets Crisps&Critics appreciate the flavour of the finest Herefordshire potatoes. Some potato skin traces are scattered over the chips, leaving a rustic impression to the customer. 

All in all, a royal celebration to the humble potato.
