Why do some chips come out folded?!
Why do some chips come out folded?
Been wondering this since I was a kid, never got the urge to ask.
Answers:
when the potato is sliced and waiting to be fried, sometimes all the water/juices from the potato isnt dried enough and when it hits the oil it curls up on itself. i love the folded ones! they hold the dip better...

When they are processed, before they get hard sometimes they fold.
you don't cook much do you.. potatoes some times fold.. i make my own chips at home when he water leave the potatoes it curls and sometimes folds.
what he said.
because you're very lucky. the folded ones are the yummiest!
they are starchy and stick together when you slice them. and will stay that way sometimes when you put them in oil.
they get pressed against others on a conveyor belt, back up and fold.
Thats just they way theyre made.
