A zero-fat potato chip that has no funky additives, is crispy and — here’s the real test — addictive?

It seems a stretch, but Batavia, N.Y.-based Brothers International Food Corporation has managed to pull it off thanks to the magic of freeze-drying.

The company’s new Brothers-All-Natural Potato Crisps look and feel just like a conventional potato chip but have no fat and only about 40 calories per serving (compared with about 75 calories and 5 grams of fat in typical chips).

The chips are made by peeling, slicing and cooking the potatoes, then freeze-drying them. The latter half of the process removes the moisture from the potato, leaving it crispy, light and satisfying.

Be warned — the taste isn’t identical to a conventional chip. But it is great. Flavors include sea salt, black pepper and sea salt, onion and garlic, and Szechuan pepper and chives.

Packages of 16 single-serving bags of Brothers-All-Natural Potato Crisps are available for $14.99 at http://www.brothersallnatural.com.
