Spicy Pimento Cheese & Harissa Kettle Chips
What it is
These are thick-cut potato chips, kettle-cooked for a satisfying crunch. They feature a unique flavor combination of creamy, savory pimento cheese and the smoky, spicy notes of harissa. The ripple cut adds extra texture and helps hold onto the seasoning. This snack offers a bold and complex taste experience, moving beyond traditional chip flavors.

- Appetizer addition
- Solo munching
Enjoy these chips straight from the bag for an immediate burst of flavor and crunch. They can be served alongside sandwiches or wraps, adding an exciting dimension to your meal. Consider them as a base for creative snack platters, perhaps with a dollop of extra pimento cheese or a side of cool dip to balance the heat. Their robust flavor also makes them a good choice for crushing and using as a crunchy topping for casseroles or salads, offering a spicy, cheesy twist.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike standard potato chips, these offer a dual flavor profile that is both creamy and spicy. The kettle cooking method results in a sturdier chip with a more pronounced potato taste compared to thinner varieties. The pimento cheese element provides a distinct savory depth not found in most chip seasonings.
Who it is for
Home cooks and snack enthusiasts looking for adventurous and flavorful options will appreciate these chips.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining chips in an airtight container or resealable bag. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their crispness and prevent the seasoning from becoming stale. Proper storage ensures the best flavor and texture for future enjoyment.
