Cape Cod is an OG in the space, the first kettle chip in chronological memory encountered, the first chip brand that had some darker chips, and a lot more crinkly chips than some other brands. Cape Cod was premium before there was really a premium lane in chips. Cape Cod’s sour cream and onion hits on the all the notes you want in a sour cream & onion chip, there’s just not a ton of flavor there. There is a very light onion taste and almost no onion aftertaste (hurray, you don’t need a Mento).Sour Cream & Onion flavour, crispy and crunchy...containing ONLY 4g NET carbs and 19g protein, and only 140 calories!! Not an ounce of sugar but still the awesome sour cream & onion flavour!! Think Sour Cream & Onion Pringles!! Eat on the go for a cheeky hit of protein!! ORRR maybe get creative and make Sour Cream & Onion NACHOS!! Add some bacon, c hilli, gaucamole, sour cream (maybe some high-protein cheese too)!!

A favorite of the populace, some of my loved ones and favorite people included, worship at the altar of Ruffles. This extends to sour cream & onion, which the Frito Lay brand creates in many different iterations, including Lay’s and Sun Chips. Ruffles’ RRRidges set an industry standard for what a ridge can and should be; thin rivulets covered in seasoning, golden fresh crispy crunch in every bite. The only downside here is the strong green onion flavor – the sour cream is a very light tang, but the onion element is a bit reminiscent of the taste of onion grass soaked in butter and stays on the palate enough to begin thinking about mints or toothpaste for a cleanse.

Honorable Mentions/Latecomers

Sour Cream & Onion is Utz most popular flavored chip for a reason, they deliver strongly on every facet you want in this classic flavor. 8. Deep River – Taste 15 User

Though these chips would go great without a lot of things and are by no means to be ignored, Better Made’s version of sour cream and onion potato chips are not in the top of the Midwest’s stiff potato chip competition. 18. Wise – Taste 5 User

In varying proportions. Note: product may be fried in either of the oils listed or a blend may be used dependant on availability of supply. Nutritional Information Typical Values Kettle is a trusted high-end potato chip brand for 40 years now, their sour cream & onion variety is an example of what any chip should strive for — a lot of flavor balanced flavor on a fresh, crisp, and crunchy chip. 4. Lay’s – Taste 4 User Though around since the 1980s, it seems like Kettle has really exploded in the past decade – making their way into airport kiosks, kid’s lunches, convenience stores, sandwich stores, and pretty much every market’s “Natural Foods” chip section. Bodegas and gas stations have Kettle chips in 2022. The Salem OR-based chip brand makes about 40 different flavors, and typically almost everything they do is quality at the minimum and deliciously crave-worthy at the maximum. Ballreich’s basic old-school design gets the job done with minimal fanfare. You won’t get an explanation of what “marcelled” means, but you will get multiple shoutouts to Tiffin, Ohio, and a “locally owned for 100 years” stamp, both pretty cool tidbits of info. Hal’s sour cream & onion potato chips are like a New Yorker chipified; rich in flavor and high-quality ingredients, but also a bit too aggressively seasoned and salty in some instances. Hal’s are tasty kettle chips, and they have the trademark crunch, and oil-cooked bubbliness of the best kettle chips sampled. Flavor-wise, some chips are seasoned too salty, requiring a beverage accompaniment or interlude from munching to refresh. Some chips had too much sour cream, tasting too creamy and beyond rich in the umami note. The onion seasoning can linger more than desired on the palate, asking for refreshment. Hal’s Sour Cream & Onion potato chips may just be too much to eat alone but could be balanced out by something else flavorful and savory like a soup or sandwich to match their aggression.
