Cape Cod Robust Russet

At first glance, you might think you have a bad batch of chips as they come out a obviously dark brown color. But this is actually the natural color of the robust russet potato when cooked, as it has a higher sugar content than your standard chips. But fear not, as it takes nothing away from these fantastic chips.

The taste is relatively unique, with a slightly raw, earthy taste to them. And they are complimented nicely by the salt that has been added to them. This is a very nice chip to try, and is something I could seeing being used to introduce somebody to the more exotic chips that are out there.

The crunch on these chips is fantastic, and exactly what I expect from a kettle cooked chip. Every bite generates a hard crunch, but not enough to make the chip overly brittle.

I’m not sure if it is the robust russet they use for the chip or not, but the chip is unusually dry. In fact, it took me a little bit to find the grease that was there.

Overall, the Cape Cod Robust Russet chip is a fantastic chip, on par with some of the best chips out there that I have had. From the unique taste, the fantastic crunch, this chip is a winner. And if you are wanting a chip to use as a gateway to some of the more exotic chips that are out there, then this is a great chip to start with.
