grease


This time of year humans living in colder climates typically tap into their larder. Larder, it's just like the name implies, the place for lard. Fat baby. Time to eat fat because if you eat fat in the winter you will survive.Well I live in NYC so I turn to homemade potato chips. Greasy, hot and full of potato flavor just like the larder intended.


You can get all exotic and add ranch dressing powder or any of those other powdered flavors to give your chips a more store bought effect if you want to, we do.

I love potato chips. We don't have any. I don't fry foods. Now I'm hungry.

I'm with Anette! I love salt and vinegar flavored potato chips, especially when they're crispy like these. Yum! Happy winter.

larder is actually a storage place, like a pantry
