  Old Fashioned Kettle Cooked. Thank you for buying our unique potato chips made with real Russet potatoes. The... chips inside this bag cook darker than others potato chips , but don't worry they're not burnt. Russet potatoes unlike their round white cousins contains higher amount of sugar and when cooked carefully will produced a darker, more robust chip that maintains that integrity of the potato. The mystique of the russet all began in 1872 when Luther Burbank happened upon an unusual bud on a potato plant at his New England farm. For days he watched the bud carefully until one day it disappeared. Luther, an experienced botanist, knew that this bud was special so he searched until he found the bud on the ground He opened the fruit to find 23 seeds of which he noticed two seemed particularly superior. These two seeds produced the very first Russet poetess and earned Luther a place in history. Oven the years, Luther developed over one half million seeding varieties, by ironically the chance discovery of the Russet was his greatest accomplishment. The Russet is not, however, for all chips companies-it has many special needs. It has a short growing conditions. In general, the Russet requires more care in its handling-the slightest temperature variations can greatly affect the flavor. These elements make the Russet less suitable for mass production, by our process of Kettle-Cooking allows us to handle specialized potatoes. First, we individually inspect each potato. Then we Kettle-Cook the chips by hand in small batches of less than 15 lbs. Allowing us to closely monitor them . Lastly all the chips must pass an additional, final inspection before they're packaged, To ensure that every Cape Cod Chip you eat maintains the highest level of quality each phase of our production is controlled by a human being. Whether it's our Classics.-salted, unsalted or 40% Reduced Fat, the golden Russet (amber color and robust flavor) or the Dark Russet (Chestnut color and intense flavor), we promise you've bough a bag of chips with real personality and flavor.
