Saddle Potato Crisps

One of the new snacks at Trader Joe's this summer was the sea salted saddle potato crisps ($1.49). Made from potato, sunflower oil, corn meal, rice flour, sea salt, and other corn products, they looked like the TJ's answer to Pringles, even using the same type of container.

We don't really have much to say about these. They were fine, but kind of boring, especially since they only came in the plain sea salt flavor. A liked them more than I did, but wasn't very excited about them since he usually prefers flavored Pringles. I do too, but I also thought regular Pringles tasted better than these and had a better crunch/texture to them. The photo on the TJ's blog (which we looked at after finishing the crisps) topped them with salsa, cheese, and cilantro, and while that does look tasty, you could do that with any type of chips, and I'm not sure how much these crisps would really add to that combo. Nothing necessarily wrong with these, but the most interesting thing about them was the package illustration.

Buy again? No, not for us.
