Lay's

It starts on farms in select regions across India where the best potatoes are specifically grown for Frito-Lay to make great tasting chips. Upon arrival at plants, it can take as little as 24 hours for the chips to be made. This is how Lay's Chips are made:

  • Wash - the potatoes are thoroughly bathed in water.
  • Peel - next, we gently peel so that the skin comes off, and the flavor remains.
  • Slice - the potatoes are thinly sliced and rinsed again to remove any remaining starch.
  • Cook - then the slices are cooked to a crispy crunch in one of the healthiest oil there is, Rice Bran Oil.
  • Season - finally the chips are topped off with a mouthwatering sprinkle of salt or seasoning.

The potatoes have now become delicious chips and are packed and delivered to a store near you.
