Kumara Chips product reviews

I am not a big fan of kumara chips done in either the oven or a deepfrier so I was a bit unsure how I was going to deal with these when a friend brought them around as her contribution towards a group dinner. Since we had some herbed meatballs in the freezer, I decided to do a casserole.
I chopped the frozen chips into small pieces about 2cm long and threw them into the casserole dish along with onions, peas, corn and beans, plus a couple of cans of chopped tomatos, plus a packet of Maggie Italian Mince Cook-in-the-Pot. With occasional stirs and about 2 hours of gentle cooking, it was ready.
Served on a bed of freshly cooked spiral pasta, this was a tasty and easy meal. The kumara chips had cooked to a firm, but tender consistancy and were a really good addition to the casserole. Much better than the diced potato I would normally have used.
An excellent product.

Boy I love these kumara chips, they are perfect as a side dish to some nice pan fried fish or even a lightly grilled steak (well pretty much anything really).

I found that having the skin left on these made them just the right kind of crispy when cooked, and I can easily see a plate of these sitting on a table in a cafe/bar with a small pot of sour cream in the middle, and I also can see that they wouldn't last long at all (especially if i'm around )

These are another fine product from Kauri Coast Kumara that I will be stocking up the freezer with (I can see i'm gonna need a bigger freezer )

Good on ya Kauri Coast Kumara .

These chips are easy to prepare and take almost no time to cook. A great idea when you have the munchies and can't be bothered or if you have unexpected guests. A selection of dipping sauces and some good company and you have yourself set.

The price for me was a little high, but they would be a welcome addition to my freezer.

Not usually a fan of Kumara chips, after a disasterous encounter at a local pub where I was presented with a bowl of what appeared to be deep-fried garden worms, with sweet chilli dipping sauce. However, as they say, if you want it done right you should do it yourself, and I finally had a chance to...

After following the instructions on the box, I found the chips to still be a bit limp, so wound the over up another 20 degrees and gave them a few more minutes... they crisped up nicely and the smell was beyond delictable, I felt like one of Pavlov's dogs, I was drooling so much.

Decant them onto paper towels to absorb the thin film of oil used to prevent sticking to the oven tray, then onto a huge plate with a set of small bowls with a variety of dipping sauces; tartare, sweet chilli, ranch, garlic mayo and a personal concoction similar to mustard pickle. de-lish-ee-mo!

The flavour is astounding, with the full flavour of the kumara coming through, a nice crisp bite that breaks through into a soft, creamy sweet flesh. The dipping sauces simply gave a range of flavours to compliment the natural tang of the kumara.

Overall, though you need to pay close attention to them during cooking, as they can burn quite suddenly if you aren't observant, the results are worth the effort. Great as a party snack, or as a side-dish, a serving of these gives you one of your "5+ a day" of healthy eating, and can hardly be scorned if you like kumara at all. One of the best kumara chips I have ever eaten.

Served these up with sweet thai chilli sauce and a dollop of sour cream. They were delicious! I almost always have kumara with the skin left on, so this wasn't a big deal for me... was nice to see a manufacturer thinking about health
They were easy to cook, and even easier to eat... big thumbs up!
