What are Kettle Chips?
Kettle chips are potato chips which are cooked individually in batches, rather than in a continuous flow machine. Many people feel that foods which are prepared in individual batches have a superior flavor to continuous-processed food, perhaps because of the associations with batches and artisan production. In fact, many companies which produce kettle chips along with other batch-processed food produce food on a scale which is comparable to that of continuous producers, using the cachet of batch production to command a high price for their products.
