NFT: Favorite Type of Potato Chip

Krinkle Cut Salt & Pepper.
Kettle - ( New Window )

Kettle cooked.

.

UTZ Classic Chips

I can't get them in Virginia, though. One of the things I left behind when I left the Gulf Coast, along with Buffalo Rock ginger ale.

are my downfall every time I try and diet.

Cape cod original are my go-to.

but recently Humpty Dumpty chips began distributing in MA and their salt & vinegar are really good.

I rarely eat chips anymore though, because when I do I treat a bag of chips like a bottle of wine, no matter what size I pretty much can't open it without eating the whole thing.

for the win

.

but good old Lays regular chips are hard to beat.

.

Hard to find, worth looking for

for dips

Lays BBQ, but gotta dip in the Hella Good bacon horseradish dip. Huge downfall.

Thank goodness we rarely get them outside of football season. A definite Giants game go-to, though.

salt and vinegar

Was at Fresh Market recently and they had Charles Chips. Bought a bag and it’s been 30 years since I had them? The noticeable difference was the amount of salt. Each chip gives the slight taste of salt where it is mostly aimed towards the potato flavor. Delicious. Lays and pretty much many others simply over salt.

I don’t think Lays BBQ sells in my area. A local owned company dominates the market on BBQ chips.

Herr's Salt & Vinegar Chips
Herr's Old Bay Chips
Herr's Original
Kettle Brand Pepperconi Chips is a recent favorite

Damn I love Chips.

Lol, great call.

but I realize they're hardly the best. I like Cape Cod a lot. I like Terra Chips, but they're not strictly potato.

Also a couple of years ago, Lay's made a Tikka Masala chip that was really good.

Sour cream and onion
Regular lightly salted
BBQ

Any brand.

When I was at Lehigh University.... my roommate and a lot of guys on my floor would beg for me or my parents to bring them down.

They have expanded since... but I know people in California who have them shipped monthly.

They are the best chip ever.

+ 1

Used to be made in my hometown of Scarborough, Maine.

I remember the day the plant caught on fire.

Was a sad day in town history.

I believe they relocated to Canada.

It’s one of the cornerstone arguments in my group of friends. Since elementary school it’s been 5 on 1 with my one friend loving regular Wise chips and the rest of us loathing them. To me they are like plywood, chip dust that’s pressed together to make what resembles a chip.

Although technically not a potato chip.

regular and salt and vinegar

I find them in Philly every so often in a random store but whenever I visit my dad I'll grab a bag. Along with some A-Treat red cream soda and some Millers Hot Bologna. Ya know, health food.

Holy shit, forgot about that...

when you can find them here in the Tidewater area.

Including wise. Utz is probably my go to through.

but every 6 months or so, I cave in and buy Lay's Sweet Southern Heat.

Yeah they are expanding south. You find them at Weis in certain locations in the Lehigh Valley. They are sold out pretty quick. I don't have to drive an hour north anymore just to get them.

Also a big fan of Miss Vickie’s Jalepeno.

Love. Them.

Chips. Lays regular are my #1, lays bbq#2 and lays sour cream and onion#3. I use to eat half a bag a day. Then about 10 years ago I had mt cholesterol check and it was very high. Wasn’t over weight at the time either. So I had to crack down on the chips. Will buy a bag maybe once a month.

so now it's UTZ regular.

Original Kettle

I eat WAY to many bags of them

State Line, from Massachusetts. Still, there are a lot I like. Herr's Frank's Red Hot, Wise Garlic and Onion, Utz Crab Chips, Regular Utz, Utz Red Hot, Cape Cods

I always buy Wise regular. They are so addictive.

At home. The Walmart Great Value sour cream and onion brand are really good.

to college in Central PA and used to eat Middelswarth chips a lot:

NFT: Favorite Type of Potato Chip dep026 : 7/7/2019 3:14 pm Any specific brand? Type? Flavor? Born and raised in Northeast Pa.... so my obvious answer is Middleswerth BBQ, which are so addicting. Herr’s kettle cooked are probably next. I really want to try making my own, but never got around to it...

Fun story. A few years ago, we were coming back from NY and stopped to get gas in PA and bought a big bag of Middelswarth chips. When we got home our daughter's friend came over saw the bag and said "Where did you get these?". Never put two and two together, but her name is Elizabeth Middelswarth and her Dad 's family runs the company.

she thought we brought them back for her and we had no clue.

Lightly Salted. Thick-cut, perfect for dipping.

Agreed...surprisingly good chips. The only problem is the bag feeds 25 people so I only get them when having a BBQ or something.

are hard to find but they have got to be the best chips on the planet.

those are old school, they used to come in an aluminum can when I was little. Looks like you can still get them on Amazon.

Pretty much a hybrid of bbq and salt/vinegar.

Tayto - Salt and vinegar

Cape Cod - Salt and vinegar

is incredibly tough to beat for chips and pretzels.

Martin's Kettle Cooked with a hoagie at The Goose..never quite the same as out of the bag!!

Didn't know you were a fellow Lehigh alum... Nice...


My go-to potato chip now...

Dirty chips... Funky Fusion flavor...amazing.

are made from corn, for dipping in salsa, or cheesy bean dips.

From the commercial stuff, the Tostitos scoops...

BBQ (umm, lard). Utz Maui BBQ (require beer).

But, Poore Brothers had a Cajun flavor years ago that was fucking amazing. Unfortunately, they discontinued it.
