“It’s a special variety of potato. It’s smaller, rounder and that way they’ll make a chip that’s not (too) long,” Shelley says
Here's a couple quotes I found on the subject:
"The real answer, I think, is that for many years Idaho produced primarily the Russet varieties, which grow to be long and flat and less uniform in shape and size to some of the round potato varieties favored by processors of potato chips. The round potatoes give processors a very uniform circular shape when the potato is sliced. So a market for the odd shaped Russet potatoes never really developed."
"In 2005 Idaho growers planted 53 different potato varieties. The six most popular, in terms of 2005 plantings were: (1) Russet Burbank, (2) Ranger Russet, (3) Norkotah, (4) Western Russet, (5) Frito-Lay and (6) Shepody. U.S. growers planted 284 potato varieties in 2005. The U.S. top six were: (1) Russet Burbank, (2) Russet Norkotah, (3) Frito-Lay, (4) Ranger Russet, (5) Norland and (6) Shepody."
Unless I really can't read, the articles I found, in a quick search, seem to contradict your articles and specifically name Frito-Lay. Clearly Frito-Lay does not use russet potatoes and these articles 100% back up 36 Coupes claim that he called Frito-Lay. The other article is from Canada and not only does it not mention Frito-Lay, it doesn't mention russet potatoes either. You can't prove anything you claim so need to resort to bringing up anything and everything that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic. How pathetic!
