These chips are da bomb! They are exactly like Kettle Foods’ “Krinkle Cut, Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper” chips, which leads me to believe that, quite possibly, the TJ-branded chips are manufactured by Kettle Foods, Inc. Haven’t been able to verify that, though. But being that those Kettle chips have been my absolute favorite potato chips for quite some time, I’m happy to say that Trader Joe’s Ridge Cut Potato Chips (Salt & Pepper) are, by association, also my favorite. Tremendous flavor, texture, bite, and body!
