Lightly sea salted is the truth test. No bold flavouring to hide behind. Just potato, oil, salt, and the quality of the crisp-maker’s craft exposed for judgment.
Taylors passes convincingly.
The hand-cooked texture is excellent. Thick-cut and irregular, with bubbled surfaces and genuine crunch. These feel artisan because they are artisan, made by a family business that’s been doing this properly since the 1990s.
The potato flavour comes through clearly. Earthy and genuine, the taste of actual vegetable. The light salting enhances without overwhelming. There’s confidence here, trust that the base product is good enough to need minimal embellishment.
At Aldi’s prices, this is remarkable value. Premium hand-cooked crisps competing with budget alternatives. The quality gap is significant. The price gap isn’t.
Buy these. Seriously. Buy these.
