Scandinavian flavor profiles tend towards salty, spiced with nutmeg and anise, with no great emphasis on spice—that is, until ‘Chili Klaus’ entered the picture. Klaus encountered extremely spicy foods on his travels abroad and was dismayed upon his return to find it was almost impossible to find them in Denmark, so he began a show in the 2010s where he dared celebrities to eat peppers he’d grown himself. These jalapeno potato chips are a perfect first foray into the world of spice for many. They’re perfectly crunchy, with a mild kick to them that makes them perfectly enjoyable.
