Background

It all began with a second-hand fryer from North America, marking the start of LantChips and the introduction of kettle-cooked chips in Sweden. The manufacturing process is simple yet unique. The potatoes are thoroughly washed and sliced, keeping both the skin and starch intact. This method results in chips with a natural taste and a color that varies with the seasons. Additionally, LantChips contain about 20% less fat than traditional chips. Over time, the company has developed its own fryers, a key secret behind their crispy texture—something they proudly call “Real Chips.”

A Focus on Sustainability

Environmental consciousness is at the core of Svenska LantChips’ operations. Since 2018, their production has been fossil-free, and all potatoes are sourced locally to minimize transportation emissions. Since 1995, the company has also offered organic chips, fried in sunflower and Swedish rapeseed oil, completely free from palm oil. Furthermore, the entire potato is utilized in production—nothing goes to waste. Peels and other by-products are converted into biofuel and animal feed, highlighting the company’s commitment to a sustainable business model.

Unique Touches That Make LantChips Special

A charming detail about LantChips is that their unique crispiness stems from their custom-designed and improved fryers. Another standout feature is their decision not to blanch the potato slices before frying, which is unusual in the chips industry. This approach preserves the robust flavor and rustic appearance, reminiscent of homemade chips. Their factory in Södertälje is a proud symbol of their local roots and dedication to producing chips close to home.

Svenska LantChips is an excellent example of how tradition and innovation can be combined. The next time you enjoy their chips, you can savor the flavor while knowing they were made with care for both you and the environment.
