UTZ Ripple Potato Chips
What it is
These are classic potato chips that have been cut with deep ridges. The rippled surface is created by a special cutting process. This shape is designed to hold more of the seasoning and any dips you might use. They are fried to a golden crispness, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite. The simple potato flavor is enhanced by the salt, making them a straightforward snack option.

Open the bag and enjoy them directly from the package. They are ideal for dipping into popular accompaniments like onion dip, sour cream and chives, or even guacamole. For a more substantial offering, they can be incorporated into layered dips or used as a crunchy topping for casseroles. Their sturdy, ridged structure makes them less prone to breaking when used for dipping compared to flatter chip varieties.
How it differs from similar foods
The distinctive deep ridges set these chips apart from flat or kettle-cooked varieties. This texture allows them to capture and hold more of the seasoning and dip, providing a more intense flavor experience with each chip. The rippled cut also contributes to a slightly different crunch profile.
Who it is for
Anyone looking for a classic, satisfying potato chip snack will enjoy these.
How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any leftover chips in an airtight container or resealable bag. Keep them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, which can cause them to become stale or lose their crunch.
