"tatas" Patatas Fritas Artesanas - La Madrileña


Inside a sort of brown paper grocery bag we are presented with two separate transparent bags (140g each) of very thick, big and round chips. Such dimensions are not often found in packed potato chips bags and it provides a slight rough feeling, like home made potato chips. 

Cut flat and partly unpeeled, the potato chips are fried in sunflower oil. Then the chips are spiced with salt (1.4%). Enough dressing?

Depicted at the bag rear we find a picturesque drawing of a woman dressed up in a "chulapa", a typical costume from Madrid, a wink to the company name: La Madrileña. The word "chulapa" derives from the word "chulo" which, at least in Madrid, means well dressed. Very well dressed chips by a group of coworkers that refloated a company lashed by the economical crisis in Spain.
