What is your favorite flavor of potato chips? Mine is sour cream and chives.

[debm55]

[MichMan]

1. Salt and Vinegar in a close tie with BBQ

[debm55]

3. Yes, BBQ is good too.

[elleng]

2. Sorry I can't answer, my tastes keep changing!

[debm55]

4. Oh you!-------

[bucolic_frolic]

5. Taste varies with season or mood or something

Usually just plain, but sometimes sc&chives. Late summer I had a real thing for Bratwurst flavor. Didn't like beer chips.

I notice both Aldi and Giant chips are same size bags, made in Canada, same price some days too. Potato chip collusion.

[debm55]

7. Wait, there are Bratwurst flavor chips???????? I'll pass.

[anciano]

6. Classic Original

[debm55]

8. with no flavor??? Naked chips?

[anciano]

9. Yep! Love 'em.

[Demovictory9]

15. I like naked if using dip

[debm55]

64. Me too

[hibbing]

51. Lays Classic, no dip.

[debm55]

65. Thank you, hibbing

[NotASurfer]

10. Limon

Goes well with beer. "Can't eat just one" rule applies

[debm55]

12. Where do you find this flavor. I guess if you like it. I would pass.

[NotASurfer]

20. Lays has this flavor

Introduced to it years ago in Austin TX, might be more of a southwestern region distribution. I'm not fond of flavors like salt & vinegar, or dill pickle, but the mild lime flavor works for some reason. Maybe it's the cerveza you wash 'em down with

[debm55]

21. I see now--would be good with cerveza. Thank you

[Demovictory9]

11. BBQ. Least fav vinegar.

[debm55]

13. My second favorite is BBQ. Yummy.

[electric_blue68]

14. Plain, Salt & Vinegar, BBQ

[debm55]

16. Thank you, BBQ. Can't do naked chips unless I have dip or kettle chips.

[electric_blue68]

17. Kettle chips are fun

[debm55]

22. Have to have them when eating a sandwich, even if they are naked.

[KewlKat]

18. Quest BBQ Protein Chips

LOVE them.

[debm55]

19. Sounds interesting. Where do you find them? Thanks

[KewlKat]

31. I have 2 sources I use regularly...

Target sells them in a 4 pack.

or

Quest direct. A Box of 8 bags. I usually get them there, 4 boxes at a time.....lol.

If I run low, I grab them at Target as that's quicker.

[debm55]

36. I haven't heard of Quest, but we live near a Target. TY

[airplaneman]

23. Definitely BBQ n/t.

[debm55]

26. That's my second choice and kettle chips is a must for eating with tuna sanwiches.

[Xavier Breath]

24. I tend to view potato chips as just a vehicle for getting the dip into my mouth

so I tend to buy plain. Kroger has a store brand wavy chip that's reduced sodium and sturdy enough to handle a good dip load, so I'll go with that as may favorite. However, if you force me to eat a chip sans dip, then I guess I'd go with salt & vinegar. I never eat those now but I did enjoy them immensely as a younger man.

[debm55]

25. Thank you XavierBreath. eating the sc and chive chips you don't have to worry about the dip, it's already flavored with

it---in my brain.

[KewlKat]

33. Using a spoon will reduce calories......lol.

Great for weight reduction...

[Xavier Breath]

37. Eww.

Back in grade school I spent the night at my buddy's house. He had an older brother, and my buddy and I were playing a game at the kitchen table when the brother sat down to watch. It was then I noticed he was holding a table spoon that had a big dollop of mayo on it, and he kept taking licks from it. He said it was something he did routinely, and I nearly gagged.

Chip dip and mayo must never be alone. Or together, before someone suggests it

[MiHale]

78. My younger brother used to eat..

Mayonnaise sandwiches. Mayo sandwiched between two pieces of white bread, said the eggs gave it all the protein he needed. …He’s a research chemist…still shake my head at that.

[Ocelot II]

27. Potato.

[debm55]

28. Oh you. --------------------

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

29. Regular ordinary original potato chips.

The rare times I've sampled flavored ones, the artificial flavor is strong and offensive.

[debm55]

38. Oh you like them naked. sometimes with certain brands the flavor can be offensive and overwhelming.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

45. In my limited sampling, all flavors are offensive.

The artificiality is incredibly obvious to me.

Perhaps what matters here is what you eat, where you source your food. I do most of my cooking from scratch. I boil potatoes and mash them. I make soups and stews from the raw ingredients. I do very little baking these days, but in the past I always made cakes, brownies, and cookies from scratch, meaning the sugar, flour, vanilla, cocoa, and so on.

Several years ago I got into the habit of baking something and bringing it to work to share on Fridays. It was almost embarrassing to realize how few of my co-workers had ever had anything made from scratch. I made cookies, brownies, cakes, and I loved sharing them, because I love to bake, and since I live alone, I need to make sure those things are eaten before they can go bad.

If you've only ever had a cake made from a mix, a cookie from the cookie dough you buy at the grocery store, they are not remotely the same. Oh, and the time invested in baking the cake or the cookies from scratch is at best 15 minutes longer than opening the box or cutting open the cookie dough. Not a lot of time.

The sad thing is that people start using these supposedly time-saving options, and after time don't recognize what they are giving up. Perhaps one of the important reasons that I'm so phenomenally healthy is that I don't use these "short-cuts."

[DinahMoeHum]

30. Lightly salted. Freshly fried in oil. . .

. . .like at street fairs.

[debm55]

39. Yes, I like naked chips when they are freshing cooked or kettle chips. TY

[sinkingfeeling]

32. Plain, but with ripples. I like the ripple/wavy chips because they're stronger.

[debm55]

40. Do you use dip with them? Thanks

[Freddie]

82. Me too

Dip or not. Preferably plain but cheddar and sour cream are yummy too.

[debm55]

86. Thanks Freddie, Enjoy,

[yellowdogintexas]

119. I don't enjoy eating any of the heavily coated chips.

All that goo that builds up on your fingers just annoys me. Not to mention I don't like the taste of BBQ chips at all.

Interestingly, the goo on Cheetos does not bother me much at all. I really like Flamin' Hot Cheetos

[debm55]

120. Thank you, I tried them--to hot for me. I like BBQ but not overly coated. That is why I like the kettle chips too. Ty

[MichMan]

34. Big fan of the Better Made brand from Detroit

https://bettermade.com/

[debm55]

41. OMG, chocolate cover chips. I;m not to far from Detroit--live in SW PA. I am going to check out my store. TY MichMan.

[Ninga]

123. Actually, New Era potato chips, in the tall yellow can...

Go Lions!!!!

[debm55]

124. Thank you, Ninga. Enjoy your chips.

[Marcus IM]

35. I like potato chips that taste like potatoes. eom

[debm55]

44. Do you use dip or just naked/plain?

[Marcus IM]

55. Naked, but usually I wear some clothes.lol

[debm55]

61. That is funny TY

[stonecutter357]

50. yes drill sergeant !

[Dulcinea]

42. Salt & vinegar or cheddar & sour cream.

Salt & vinegar have no shelf life at our house. My husband eats those by the bagful.

[debm55]

43. That is funny. Same here.

[LakeArenal]

46. We like plain ole Ruffles.

We’ll eat a Pringle now and then too.

[debm55]

47. You like them naked? I saw you as a dipper.

[LakeArenal]

62. Nah.... I'm just a dip!!!

[debm55]

66. That;s funny

[NewHendoLib]

48. Trader Joe Dark Russet is #1....Utz Sour Cream and Onion second

[debm55]

67. We like Utz chips and pretzels

[stonecutter357]

69. Thank you, area51

[Elessar Zappa]

53. Same here!

[debm55]

70. Thanks Elessar

[cabotnn22]

54. without a doubt - cheese & onion

cheese and onion are the best chips ever created. in second place, bbq.

[debm55]

71. Sound good, thank you.

[LoisB]

56. Plain old Lay's Classic.

Potato, salt, oil = a potato chip; none of that flavored stuff for me.

[debm55]

72. Thank you LoisB

[Runningdawg]

57. If pizza Pringles don't count as real chips - kettle cooked jalapeno.

[debm55]

73. You like your chips hot. TY Runningdawg

[Squeaky41]

58. Chip Choice

#1 Lays Dill pickle

#2 Lime

with roasted artichoke and cheese dip

[debm55]

74. Squeaky 41 different choices. Enjoy and TY

[Scottie Mom]

59. Lay's regular, nothing added, thin chip. EOM

[debm55]

63. Thank you, Scottie Mom

[SOteric]

60. Tim's Cascade Special Batch Wasabi

I haven't seen them in stores since 2017, but when they make them, I always pick up a bag. They're the best.

[debm55]

75. Thank you,

[MiHale]

76. Salt and vinegar...

But really good ones where the vinegar hits hard. Um, um, um!

[debm55]

77. Thank you MiHale. Enjoy.

[doc03]

79. BBQ. nt

[debm55]

134. Mine two Doc03

[appleannie1]

80. I love Salt & vinegar but I can't eat salt so only get 1 or 2 bags a year.

[debm55]

135. sorry

[fargone]

81. Ketchup (not the spicy ones) and dark chocolate covered

[debm55]

136. Never had Kethup, i had the chocolate ciover chips and pretzels TY

[Freddie]

83. Middleswarth, from the PA "snack belt"

Everybody raves about the BBQ flavor but I love the plain. My cousin from Connecticut stocks up when he visits.

[debm55]

88. Thanks freddie,

[moniss]

93. Yes indeed

I remember when Snyder's were good and only available out there regionally. Such good hard pretzels too. I liked Herr's chips more than utz. Now everybody has been buying each other out and things just seem different. It's like with good Lebanon Bologna. Years back I could get some real differences in the brands but now they're sort of all the same to me. I don't like the sweet stuff at all. I like it to kick me with a good tangy flavor and let the meat flavor and smoke come through. Seems like places tone things down in order to appeal to a wider base.

[Freddie]

108. Always disappointed in Snyder's sourdough pretzels

Somewhere along the way they decided to make them “healthier” and hardly put any salt on anymore. Blech. They should sell Extra Salty ones like Unique pretzels do. (Can you tell I’m Pennsylvania Dutch? Very particular about pretzels, which are of course responsible for my hips!)

[debm55]

110. Oh I like them. Don't like really salty pretzels. I always liked Snyders even as a kid, their BBQ were the best. Hope

right level of salt. And when you do --enjoy.

[moniss]

84. Jays rippled

are the ones for me. They have the narrow ridges instead of the wide ridges. Really crisp. I used to eat dip like crazy but got away from it. Several years ago there was a brand of thicker chip that was real old school and was greasy as all get out and salty. You could see a glisten to the chip. You needed paper towels handy to wipe your hands and mouth. It was something like Mrs. Smith's or something like that. Cheaper than the big brands too. Man those were great chips with cold beer and a football game. They'd have me dozing and drooling before half-time.

[debm55]

89. I like your post, enjoy your chips, moniss.

[Wonder Why]

85. steak and chicken flavored but I can't find them anywhere.

[debm55]

90. I have never hearsd of them, duo you think they are regional?

[Niagara]

87. Buzzkill Niagara :)

No potato anything for me, too many unnecessary carbs.

[debm55]

91. Sorry, Niagara, but veggies are good too.

[Niagara]

97. Hand over the cauliflower and no one gets hurt!

[debm55]

98. Do you dip in Yogurt or Hummus?

[Niagara]

99. I generally roast cauliflower in the oven.

Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season with whatever I'm in the mood for that day.

[malthaussen]

92. Potato. Chips.

I hate my chips to be adulterated with anything.

-- Mal

[debm55]

95. Thank you, malthaussen. Enjoy.

[bamagal62]

94. Depends on what they are paired with!

A sandwich? I prefer plain with ridges
On their own as a snack? Salt and vinegar

[debm55]

96. That's true. I like kettle chips with sandwich and on their own I like sc and chives.

[Eugene]

100. Ruffled regular or BBQ.

Sometimes ruffled BBQ. Taste varies with the times.

[debm55]

101. Thank you, Eugene and enjoy

[P.C.L.D.]

102. Plain Ruffles and plain lays are my all time favorites

although my new favorites are lays summer blt chips and unfortunately a now discontinued brand called Chester cheese doritos

[debm55]

104. P,C.L.D. enjoy your new Lays favorite, Sorry about the Chester cheese doritos. TY

[claudette]

103. This may sound weird but

I like PLAIN lightly salted kettle potato chips. You can really taste the potato and it’s SO good!!

[debm55]

105. Me too, especially with sandwiches. They have a crunch and great taste. Don't think it is weird at all. TY

[claudette]

126. Thanks, I agree

[dickthegrouch]

106. Honey Dijon closely followed by the now unavailable

Lays competition winner of Wasabi and ??? from a few years ago.

Edit to add:

Thankfully Blue Diamond Almonds now has a Wasabi and Soy flavor which is really good.
And Jake's Nutroasters has a Bleu Cheese and Cracked Pepper Almond flavor which is amazingly good.

[debm55]

109. I love Blue Diamond Wasabi flavored Almond. It gives them a kick. Haven't tried the Bleu Cheese Almond flaveored. Enjoy

and thank you.

[Jrose]

107. The original thin, crispy and salted Lays chips...

...with a variety of side dips, but favorites are avocado and sour cream

[debm55]

111. I never tasted that dip before. It sounds wonderful and perfect for plain chips. TY

[Shermann]

112. Even when potato chips are bad, they are still pretty good

They are like pizza that way.

If I had to choose just one, I'd go with jalapeno.

[debm55]

113. Shermann, I love kettle chips. Do they come in flavors? I think i wound stay with the plain.

[Shermann]

117. I've also had had their sea salt and vinegar which is really good

They may have a plain version, but I haven't seen it.

Cape Cod has a plain kettle chip which is really good and readily available.

[brewens]

114. Regular Ruffles with my cottage cheese dip. Just a package of ranch dip mix or onion soup mix in a quart of cottage

cheese. I don't get the yucky feeling so fast eating too many like with sour cream dip.

[debm55]

115. Sounds good, I'll give it a try. TY

[brewens]

116. Just let it sit for a few minutes. The onion soup mix will still be a little crunchy but good if you get right

into it.

[debm55]

121. Thank you, I will give it a try.

[Freddie]

127. Do you put the cottage cheese in the blender

Or let it stay lumpy? That sounds almost healthy (minus the chips of course)

[brewens]

129. Nope. Just dump the ranch or onion soup mix in and stir. It is really just as good as the sour cream to me.

My parents always did that back in the 60s. My dad loved cottage cheese, so I have no idea if that was normal or not.

[yellowdogintexas]

118. Miss Vickie's Jalapeno; runner up is Salt & Vinegar

In the opinion of my taste buds, Miss Vickie's chips are the best part of going to Subway.

[debm55]

122. You can't get them anywhere else? Enjoy.

[yellowdogintexas]

130. oh yes I can get them lots of places, but I don't eat chips often so having these

with my Subway lunch is a treat. We don't even eat Subway that much; mostly if we are traveling

[debm55]

131. Thank you.

[Hotler]

125. Hawaiian brand Sweet Maui onion kettle style. I think you can find them at Target. yum ... nt

[debm55]

128. Those sound good. Thank you and enjoy.

[Jeebo]

132. Lay's Flamin' Hot

What is it they used to say about Lay's potato chips? You put down a bag of Lay's Flamin' Hot potato chips in front of me, and I won't be able to eat just one. I might not be able to eat just one bag, in fact.

-- Ron

[debm55]

133. Sound really good and hot / TY
