Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why do you use Idaho® potatoes for your chips?
Simply put, Idaho® potatoes are the best tasting potatoes in the world. And we believe that the best potatoes make the best chips. But we'll let you decide. Just be assured that every single chip you buy is made from 100% Non-GMO certified Idaho® potatoes.
2. Are the potatoes Non-GMO?
Yes! We only use non-GMO Idaho® potatoes to make our chips.
3. What kind of oil do you use?
We only use a Non-GMO expeller-pressed, high-oleic sunflower oil grown and pressed from the colorful sunflower fields of Colorado. Expeller-pressed means the oil is mechanically squeezed to extract the oil, rather than chemically extracted, which is common among oils. High-oleic means our sunflower oil is high in oleic acid (over 80%!), or monounsaturated fats, which are known to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol (good).
4. What kind of salt do you use?
There is a huge difference in the quality of salts available on the market today. Most salts contain anti-caking agents or other additives, and also strip the salt from its natural trace minerals. Our Rocky Mountain Salt on the other hand is unrefined and full of natural minerals, not to mention bursting with flavor. This salt is found in an ancient salt deposit in South Central Utah, and blends perfectly with the Idaho® potato.
4. Do your chips contain artificial colors, flavorings, or preservatives?
Nope, and they never will.
5. I've never heard of an Idaho® potato chip. What do they taste and look like?
You'll immediately taste the difference between our chips and the generic chips you find at your local grocer. Our chips are rich in potato flavor and appear darker in color due to the higher level of starch in russet potatoes. Our chips are kettle cooked by hand in our small manufacturing facility here in Idaho, so you know you are getting the highest quality chips available on the market.
