Potato chips

Have you guys ever fried your own potato chips? I have a friend who does this and I can’t stop until I have eaten them all.

 

Tried and failed…too soft.

 

Cape Cod Potato Chips has a factory tour.
When I was there they gave you a bag at the end.

Thx, I recall that as well. My desire is to be on the floor, eating off the line. Back in my Nestle days I should have made it happen via contacts.

Me too!

 

I did once or twice. Same issue as you. So, I stopped. I've tried using an air fryer. Sweet potatoes tasted better than regular spuds, but neither is close to deep fried!

Search potato and it lists some potato chip factory tours. Frito Lay is HQ'd in the Metroplex, but they don't do factory tours anymore. ☹️

Was at the Japanese market today, and took a flyer on these.

Spice is mild. Not a lot of umami despite the seaweed.

Got a bag of these, but have not tried yet.

Tasted like a old cardboard coaster used under a Pint!

 

My new hunt is for non GMO chips given the issues.

That is NOT a ringing endorsement!

Picked up a bag of these on a recent road trip.
Meh. Ruffles and I have different notions of "flaming hot".
Tepid @ best.

These chips from Costco are equally dangerous as the Grand UTZ chips.

 

I’m into Kettle no salt added, non gmo chips right now. Delicious and relatively decent if you have high BP.

 

I have recently been exploring malt vinegar (not regular vinegar) chips. When I was a kid, we used to go to Captain D’s where they served malt vinegar like the British fish and chips places do and wanted to see if anyone was doing that in a potato chip.

Turns out there are a couple of American brands and a couple of imported British brands doing these.

My first purchase was the Boulder Canyon brand. They tend to be inconsistent chip to chip, sometimes it tastes like a regular vinegar chip, but the next one may have that malt vinegar taste which is great.

After these are finished (bought 12 small bags), I’ll try one of the British imports.

 

I’ve tried the British malt chips and enjoyed, depending on brand.

 

Nice, any recommendations for a first order?

Will be back @ London house soon and can pop into a few stores to see. Sometimes they are seasonal in Marks and Spencer.

 

Was back in Central PA to see my Mom and went to Karns for all the PA Dutch food I miss, including Chips. Brought back Middleswarth's, Moyers, Gibbles and Martins. Those Mennonites know how to make a chip (UTZ is in nearby Hanover).

 

I did not see any malt chips today. Here are some of the non seasonal oddities and fun ones…

I'm going to have my daughter bring back some of these M&S crisps on he next trip to Oxford.
Am I correct, this is Marks & Spencer?

 

That is correct. If you time it around Nov-Dec they get some funky ones like turkey stuffing and gravy flavored.

I like the mature cheddar.

 

I like the sound of that Worcester chip.

 

Those are our current favorite chips. They are awesome by themselves, but also stand up to a good French onion dip.
