The Best Kettle Potato Chip Flavor, According To Our Taste Test

When it comes to Kettle brand chips, there are so many flavors to try that choosing a favorite can feel like a chip-tastic challenge. But fear not, we took on the task and crunched our way through and ranked 16 Kettle brand potato chip flavors to bring you the ultimate winner. The Truffle Oil and Sea Salt Krinkle Cut Chips snagged the top spot.

Our reviewer was smitten with how the sea salt mingled perfectly with the rich, robust notes of truffle oil. Unlike some truffle flavored snacks that only whisper truffle, these chips make a bold statement. The crinkle cut texture isn't just for show, either. Those deep ridges catch all that flavorful seasoning, which includes sea salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and a blend of spices.

Kettle brand's commitment to quality shines through, from the thick cut potatoes they use to their transparency about exactly which farms those potatoes come from. Each bite offers a savory punch that feels both gourmet and comforting. The balance of salt and truffle feels indulgent without being overpowering. If you're a truffle fan, these are a must to have on hand. And if you're not? Well, you just might be converted (otherwise there are plenty of other flavors to choose from). Our ranking involved tasting and evaluating the most popular Kettle chip flavors, considering their flavor and overall appeal.

The Truffle Oil and Sea Salt chips are perfect for snacking on their own, but there are also plenty of ways to elevate your chip experience.

For a night in with friends, pair these chips with our luxe caramelized onion dip and a glass of Chardonnay. The balanced yet bold nature of Chardonnay complements the rich truffle flavor, keeping things bright and crisp. Or, if you're planning a cozy date night, a glass of Malbec and a warm artichoke and spinach dip might make for a perfect match. Black truffles also pair well with warm red rustic wines, making Malbec's earthy undertones a natural choice. 

You could even build a grazing table or charcuterie board around these chips. The truffle flavor pairs beautifully with creamy cheeses, fresh fruits such as grapes and figs, and savory cured meats like prosciutto or salami. They're the perfect chip to use creatively, either dressed up or dressed down, so it's no wonder they ranked number one in our taste test. Their intense flavor, perfect crunch, and versatility make them a standout choice for any chip-friendly occasion.
