The Weirdest Potato Chip Flavors That Are Actually Worth Trying

Mar 14 2017 - 7:30am

These days, potato-chip connoisseurs won't settle for any old flavor. Gone are the days when salt and vinegar and sour cream and onion got the job done — we're living in a world of some pretty weird chip flavors, and we're loving it. The next time you need to shake up your snacking routine and get out of your potato-chip rut, pick up one of these totally unexpected and completely awesome varieties, from cocktail-inspired chips to sweet and salty ones you never thought possible.

Kettle Brand Moscow Mule Potato Chips

Yep, we did a double take the first time we saw these chips, too. We had to find out if the unusual chips taste close to the flavor of the classic cocktail (they do) and if they're actually worth snacking on (they are). Free of alcohol and safe for anyone to eat, the chips are flavored with ginger and lime oil to mimic the unmistakable flavor of a Moscow Mule.

Sugar Cookie Pringles

Sugar Cookie Pringles [2] were one of Pringles' limited-edition flavors during the holiday season of 2016, and they're so good that we hope the company brings them back this year. We expected to hate these unusual chips — who puts sugar on a Pringle? — but the unexpected sweet-salty combo reeled us in and got us hooked.

Kettle Brand Thick + Bold Dill Pickle Chips

Pickle-flavored chips are one of the strangest, best things you'll ever taste. Tangy, salty, and acidic, the pickle seasoning adds tons of character to the thick, ridged potato chips that would taste even better with French onion dip. Just like the pickle-flavored popcorn from Trader Joe's [3], these chips are highly addictive.

Black Garlic Doritos

Black Garlic Doritos [4] are totally real, but the only catch is they're not available in the US, just Japan. However, if you find yourself grocery shopping in Japan and want chips, do yourself a favor and try them. As you'd expect, the chips are extremely garlicky, and fans of the strong flavor can't get enough. The perfect Halloween [5] snack, these spooky-looking black chips will keep any and all vampires away.

Whole Foods 365 All Dressed Potato Chips

Americans were blessed when Ruffles All Dressed [6], Canada's exclusive potato chip, came to the US. Now Whole Foods has its own version inspired by the Canadian chip, and let's just say you'll want to pick up at least two bags. The coveted chips are seasoned with the perfect combination of vinegar, ketchup, sour cream, onion, and BBQ flavors. It's an unexpected blend of a whole bunch of different flavors, and it really works.

Simply 7 Dill Pickle Kale Chips

Simply 7 Dill Pickle Kale Chips [7] taste like a quality kale chip with a light amount of dill pickle flavoring, not overpowering like many of the pickle-flavored snacks out there. The chips are super crunchy and satisfying enough to get rid of your potato-chip craving. And sometimes homemade kale chips [8] get the job done, but these offer more of a satisfying crunch because of the addition of potato flour.
