UK/US/German chip suck, don't know wth sort of oils/methods you use, but they always taste wierdly slightly stale/off and have a wierd oily surface. Lays are just about the most horrible thing I've tasted, Pringles is awfull. Rapeseed oil is where it's at.

Estrella is where it is at, alongside their dipmixes (mixed w. sourmilk).

Peanut rings

Worlds best dip

Worst memory ever with chips, Pringles fat free tried on the market in Columbus, Ohio, they came out like little rockets at the other end...

 

[Kintaco]

Because they remind of these:

Fun fact: Jay's Potato Chips used to be called Mr. Japp's Potato Chips and it was changed around WW2.

That said, these USED to be my favorite:

 

[Neol]

I loveeeeeeee these

Also love kettle and barbecue flavored chips.

 

[fallengorn]

I'd usually side with Utz or Herr's over Lay's, but to me this is GOAT:

 

[capitalCORN]

Edit: Oops POTATO chips.

 

[CKB3375]

Hmm.....seems like I can't attach an image (not enough posts?) but those saying Kettle got the brand right and the flavour wrong.

Kettle Brand Honey Dijon is the right answer.

Sweet Chili Garlic would also be accepted.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Because they remind of these:

Wow I haven't seen that bag in a LONG time. I will have to try these then. Used to eat those all the time as a kid.

 

[Gaffercake]

So that's what they're called in America?

It's 'Walker's' over here in the UK

 

[Dead Prince]

these are delicious.

 

[Kyoufu]

I recently discovered Burts. Pretty good.

 

[33-Hit-Combo]

These.

Mother of god, I had them when I was a child, at about 6, and then never saw them again until I was 18. Never forgot!

 

[Davey Cakes]

I loveeeeeeee these

Also love kettle and barbecue flavored chips.

Yeah, Lay's Garden Tomato & Basil chips are amazingly flavorful.

I'd kill for a kettle-cooked version though.

 

[PJV3]

God tier crisps. The only uber processed food I love.

Yep, it's those or Smiths Crisps salt n shake.

 

[Nista]

Utz chips are still my favorite. Brought back a couple of bags of crab chips from the east coast, since you don't see them out in CA.

There's one japanese chip brand that's super good but the name escapes me, but they don't seem to have them at the store all the time. Nice peppery spicy flavor.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Salt + vingear, all the way, every way.

I still haven't found the perfect brand.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Detroit's very own Better Made Potato Chips.

 

[Anoregon]

these are delicious.

This is a thread for potato chips.

 

[NotBacon]

Jalapeno Cheddar
Jalapeno Jack
Jalapeno
Habenero
etc.

 

[Dead Prince]

This is a thread for potato chips.

from OP

What's your favorite chip, period, potato or other, "regular" or otherwise?

 

[sir_kevith]

Gotta go with these and an awesome dip:

Then these if I don't got a dip:

Tim's make a solid-ass chip but I love the Jalapeno the most. My only problem with flavored chips is if I eat too many then all I can taste is MSG.

In the future I'm gonna experiment with a pickle and celery salt flavor.

 

[PandaShake]

Lay's Kettle cooked Sea Salt and Cracked Black Pepper is my crack.

It's perfectly crunchy, and the saltiness is so addicting. At one time, I bought a bag every 2 days. It got bad. So good.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Baked Cool Ranch Doritos were my absolute favorite but they don't sell them anymore.

So Lays(with French onion dip) and Taco Doritos are my favorite.

 

[Forsete]

Estrella Grillchips
Estrella Dillchips
Estrella Sourcream and onion
(Estrella) Västkustchips Gräddfil & Lök
OLWs extra tunna chips are pretty good too. And of course OLWs Naturchips. Going to see if I can find any Vårlök & Svartpeppar tomorrow.

I also love salt och peppar-chips, but I cant remember the brand since it was a long time ago I had some.

 

[Davey Cakes]

Salt + vingear, all the way, every way.

I still haven't found the perfect brand.

Are you in the US?

For Salt & Vinegar, kettle cooked is best, and the following three brands are all just about perfect in their own ways:

Kettle Brand
Lay's Kettle (regular or reduced fat)
Cape Cod (regular or reduced fat)

Kettle Brand makes a really potent chip. Heaviest on the vinegar that I've had. To me at least, this is a good thing.

 

[SeanR1221]

These Costco chips. So amazing.

 

[DiddysKongQuest]

But have you tried the GOAT german chips?

 

[Davey Cakes]

These Costco chips

That's funny. It's Kettle Brand but Kirkland (Costco) slapped their name on it because it's the massive bag only they sell.

Wholesale potato chips, yo. Costco's on it.

 

[Ravijn]

The motherfucking boss:

Lays isn't fit to be in the same store as this manna.

These are equally awesome..

 

[SeanR1221]

That's funny. It's Kettle Brand but Kirkland (Costco) slapped their name on it because it's the massive bag only they sell.

Wholesale potato chips, yo. Costco's on it.

And it's a damn good chip. I always get a bag for parties and people can't stop eating them

 

[Delta Assault]

Lays Salt and Vinegar is the best.

Well, until you burn your tongue off and can't eat food for a day.

But then your tongue recharges and Lays Salt and Vinegar is the best.

 

[kutthoat5150]

my personal favorite, the kettle brand jalapeno ones are pretty good as well

 

[undercoverb0ss]

The best!

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

Spoiler

On a serious note, Zapp's Jalapeno Chips are heavenly

 

[Various Artists]

Not answering all the questions but Munchos are the best.

 

[Faiz]

1. Herr's

2. Golden Flake

3. Kettle.

 

[RoodyPooUS]

Buffalo Bleu Kettle Chips are the best by far.

I will try the Cape Cod ones, never had those.

 

[UpperCaseN]

Lays chips are the worst option IMO, I'll still eat them though if someone else had bought them. When I'm shopping for chips I go to Utz, which I think is regional. Herrs is next after that. At that point it's whatever else, don't care

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

I can't argue the quality of Lay's except to say they just taste exactly like I think a potato chip should.

 

[BCDAWG7]

I dig these

Those are my favorite also!

 

[Coin Return]

My favorite. Not very spicy, but I can't stop eating them when I buy a bag.

 

[Keasar]

Västkust Sourcream and Onion chips.

Crispy as hell and so deliciously spiced.

OLW's 3xOnion

Crack cocaine in potato chip form. All that onion flavor makes my mouth water.

 

[New002]

I eat way too may chips, and as such have plenty of favorites, but if I had to pick a #1 it would probably be these:

Pizza Cravers Doritos Commercial

 

[hydrophilic attack]

I could go for some of this right now. And don't spare the vinegar.

 

[mambadragon]

Salt and Vinegar chips are my favorite. I like the Zapps ones, but honestly haven't tried many brands.

 

[kudoboi]

kettle or doritos

 

[Bilix]

Best chips.

More specifically:

 

[PaulloDEC]

No idea if these are unique to Australia, but they're pretty good:

 

[Cannon Goose]

Red Rock Deli chips are all pretty nice, but these are my absolute favourite:

Simple and a great crunch.

 

[manzoman96]

1. the fuck is jays

2.

but i guess it's a regional thing and all you suckers don't have them

2. them kettle jawns

This guy knows what he's talking about!
