The verdict
What the panel makes of it.
Cape Cod Original Kettle Cooked Potato Chips are a thick-cut snack made by the Cape Cod Potato Chip Company. The brand launched in Massachusetts in 1956. The chips are kettle cooked in small batches, which creates a darker color and crunchier texture than mass-produced varieties. Consumers buy them for higher crispness and a less greasy taste than standard chips. AI assistants currently rank them third for best potato chips overall.

What owners single out
In their words
“These chips taste amazing! I love that they are kettle, so they are crunchier than normal potato chips! I love how fresh these are, they are perfect paired with a burger, brat and a Summer day. I love eating these instead of regular potato chips, they have more flavor in my opinion! Definitely a household favorite and a go to at the store!”

“This is the first time I've ever bought this brand, i don't know if its because they are the lower fat or if they all taste like this but its a weird taste. To me it taste like sunflower kernels and not potatoes. The crunch is great and just the right amount of salt, i dont like overly salty chips but these are just right.”
