Surprise: The top two are supermarket brands. Who’d have guessed?
If there is such a thing as the ultimate picnic food, it has to be potato chips. They’re a grab-and-go snack that goes with any menu, and they hit all the right notes — salty, crunchy, familiar and satisfying.
Regular potato chips are great, but when the mood hits for a flavor tweak, its time to reach for the sour cream and onion-flavored variety. Crazy popular —Infusing a chip with those flavors is a tricky process involving more science than cookery. Most recipes incorporate a handful of powdered flavorings, such as sour cream, whey, buttermilk, onion, parsley and some form of sugar. Finding just the right blend requires a great palate — and precision.
The best sour cream and onion chips are crispy rounds that balance potato, onion, sour cream and salt in every bite. The chip should be stout but not tough, and it needs a spot of green to make it look appetizing. Bad ones are thin, greasy or bland. The worst of the bunch are missing one or more key flavors — or they include oddball flavors that simply don’t belong.
Surprise: The top two are supermarket brands. Less surprising: Some very famous brands are underwhelming. Here’s the scoop on the tastiest bites to bring to your next picnic — and the ones that don’t deserve space at any buffet.
