Bio-organic potato chips - Trafo

The potatoes used for these Trafo chips are grown in organic land, then selected, cut flat and fried in 100% non-hydrogenated sunflower oil, very rich in polyunsaturated linoleic acid. The oil has been produced using certified organically grown sunflowers.

The flavour is invigorating, with a scent of green fresh cut grass. Each chip is very thin, producing only a dimmed crunch, ideal to eat while watching a movie and still listen something... 
The first chip feels dry. Grab a handful of them and altogether will feel pleasantly oily and juicy.

Sós Chips - Coop

The first Hungarian review at Crisps&Critics comes from a Budapest supermarket own brand: Coop.

Hungarian potatoes irrigated with plenty of Danube water are probably used for this bag of crisps. "Sós Chips" potatoes are partly peeled and then baked in palm oil. Many dark skin traces from the chips' edges are found scattered all around the chips' surfaces.

The flavour is good, not too intense, slightly reminding a countriside potato, with a moderate crunch and appropriately salted.

The 90g bag will be more than enough if you are still hungry after eating some Lángos, or while queueuing for dinner where the best Goulash in town is served.
