Sliced extra thick. Crisp and tangy. All-natural. Who says they don't make the like they used to? When confronted with a whiny diner who wasn't happy with the cut of his fries, Chef George Crum responded like a true American. He went back to the kitchen and came out with the world's first batch of potato chips. That was in 1853. And no one has complained since. Today the ingenious simplicity of Crum's creation lives on in every bag of 1853 Kettle Cooked Chips. We start with farm-select potatoes, slice them thick, and cook them slow in small batches. The result is a chip that delivers hearty potato flavor and a satisfying crunch George would undoubtedly be proud to call his own. No preservatives added.
