10 Tasty Dishes You Didn’t Know You Could Make With Salt and Vinegar Chips

Posted on November 28, 2018 by by Amber Dowling

Who doesn’t love popping open a bag of fresh kettle-cooked, salt and vinegar chips? Nothing beats that triple combo of salty, tangy and crunchy in the mouth. So it’s no surprise the Chairman asked Iron Chef Rob Feenie and challenger John Horne to incorporate the snacking staple into Battle Bivalves, with some salty results.

Between Horne’s salt-and-vinegar-chip infused take on the land and sea and Feenie’s perfectly crunchy salt-and-vinegar razor clams, we couldn’t help but wonder what other dishes would benefit from the magic of these perfect chips.

    Mac ‘n Cheese Balls

    <p>Ketchup chips are a great Canadian flavour, and we love them on these delightful little mac ‘n cheese balls. But if you’re not a fan of ketchup flavouring on your pasta, we promise salt-and-vinegar chips are a perfectly perfect substitution.</p> <p>Get the recipe for <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.ca/recipe/ketchup-chip-mac-n-cheese-balls/19791/" target="_blank"><strong>Mac ‘n Cheese Balls</strong></a></p>

    Quick and Crunchy Potato Chip Chicken Drumsticks

    <p>Sure, this particular chip-crusted chicken recipe calls for regular old chips, but if you want to add an extra tangy touch to your plate then you could totally sub in some salt-and-vinegar chips instead. The best part? You’ll still have a half a bag leftover for snacking on later.</p> <p>Get the recipe for <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.ca/recipe/quick-and-crunchy-potato-chip-chicken-drumsticks/14000/" target="_blank"><strong>Quick and Crunchy Potato Chip Chicken Drumsticks</strong></a></p>

    Ceviche and Chips

    <p>We love the bright flavours featured in ceviche, from the lemony seafood to the creamy avocado and spicy chili. But while those flavours certainly pair well with the tortilla chips recommended in this recipe, salt-and-vinegar chips add a while new layer of delicious.</p> <p>Get the recipe for <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.ca/recipe/ceviche-and-chips/16819/" target="_blank"><strong>Ceviche and Chips</strong></a></p>

    Millionaire Dip

    <p>Have you ever tasted a dip so rich that you felt like a millionaire just by eating it? Enter this luxurious, lobster-based concoction that’s rounded out with silky cream cheese and a hit of salsa. Break out some rustic salt-and-vinegar chips to use as a vessel, but don’t forget to crush some on top of the dip itself for a pretty little garnish first.</p> <p>Get the recipe for <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.ca/recipe/millionaire-dip/18784/" target="_blank"><strong>Millionaire Dip</strong></a></p>
  • Seafood Roll with Chips

    Seafood Roll with Chips

    <p>We adore chip-wiches of all kinds, but there’s something inherently perfect about seafood sammies when they’re paired with crunchy, salty chips. This particular seafood roll recipe calls for barbecue chips (on the side), but we say smooshing some salty, vinegary chips into the main dish instead is a swimming idea.</p> <p>Get the recipe for <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.ca/recipe/seafood-roll-with-bbq-chips/13518/" target="_blank"><strong>Seafood Roll with Chips</strong></a></p>
  • Potato Chip Quiche

    Buffalo Puppies

    <p>How do you elevate the already perfect combo of blue cheese, buffalo chicken wing and midway hotdogs? With a healthy dose of salt-and-vinegar chips of course. This recipe calls for blue tortilla chips, but we personally love the touch of vinegar our favourite chips bring.</p> <p>Get the recipe for <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.ca/recipe/buffalo-puppies/20011/" target="_blank"><strong>Buffalo Puppies</strong></a></p>

    Tuna Noodle Casserole with Potato Chip Topping

    <p>There’s nothing more comforting than a warm and cheesy casserole fresh out of the oven. Well, unless it’s topped with crunchy salt-and-vinegar chips that is. Try this classic comfort dish with a twist, and we pretty much guarantee you’ll never go back to regular old tuna again.</p> <p>Get the recipe for <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.ca/recipe/tuna-noodle-casserole-with-potato-chip-topping/20084/" target="_blank"><strong>Tuna Noodle Casserole with Potato Chip Topping</strong></a></p>

    The Southern Bell Doughnut

    <p>Sweet-and-savoury is one heck of a punchy food combo, one we’re always willing to fight for. But while these doughnuts are delightfully full of surprise barbecue chips, we’d up the ante by swapping in some salt-and-vinegar chips for an even bigger flavour contrast.</p> <p>Get the recipe for <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.ca/recipe/the-southern-belle/18918/" target="_blank"><strong>The Southern Bell Doughnut</strong></a></p>
