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

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.

Ceviche and Chips
<p>We love the bright flavours featured in ceviche, from the lemony seafood to the creamy avocado and spicy chili.

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> -

The Southern Bell Doughnut
<p>Sweet-and-savoury is one heck of a punchy food combo, one we’re always willing to fight for.
