Flanagan character jug produced in South Africa circa 1960 for Willard's Foods of Rosslyn, South Africa. National Brands Limited is a South African company that produces chips and snacks under the brand name Willards. Kettle chips are created through a more old-fashioned approach called batch cooking. In this process, cold potatoes are stirred into an oil-filled kettle. The process repeats as another bunch of potatoes gets dumped in and stirred, and so on. The potatoes are fried in batches, dipped and swirled around in hot oil for longer periods of time until they're crunchier and caramelized to a deeper color. Flanagan is the logo for Willard's Kettle Fried Crisps.
