As a Canadian dill flavoured potato chips are nothing new. Honestly, it’s an herb that works so well with potatoes and has for generations in many different cultures. It’s a little shocking that the first flavours of potato chips weren’t dill and that dill potato chips are not the standard in potato chip flavours. While I did enjoy these dill potato chips, I will say that I don’t think they’re as good as they could be. However, the reason I say this is that Canadian potato chip bias that I have, in other words I’ve tasted many others before to compare.

In Canada we do have dill potato chips, but more popular are dill pickle potato chips. Dill pickle potato chips are probably the most underrated flavour of potato chips out there, but I can see how some might find them intimidating. It might seem a little odd to have anything flavoured with dill pickle, and it’s a bit of a wacky flavour choice. These dill potato chips might be a good way for those intimidated to try dill pickle potato chips to ease into that flavour palette.

These have a certain similarity (obviously) to dill pickle but they’re not as intense as a dill pickle potato chip. The sour bite is gone, but you still have that nice green dill flavour. I guess what I’m saying is that these feel like a less intense dill pickle potato chip. Since I’m a big fan of dill pickle potato chips, these feel like they’re missing something, even though they’re not. I enjoyed eating these, but on every bite I was only reminded of dill pickle potato chips, and how these aren’t exactly the same as them.

So my suggestion is this, if you love dill pickle potato chips you might want to give these a pass. If you’ve never tried dill pickle potato chips, these might be a nice bridge to get you to explore this flavour profile, with out the intensity. In some ways you might call these dill chips and gateway chip to a more intense dill pickle potato chip.
