Salt and vinegar chips are a potato chip variety. It is considered to be a "staple" in the United Kingdom and is one of the earliest varieties of flavoured chips. [1] [2] Salt and vinegar chips are the fourth-most popular potato chip flavour worldwide. Sometimes the salt used in the chips is sea salt. [3]
Salt and vinegar chips have a noticeable scent when bags are opened. [4] According to a writer for the Tasting Table, the flavour pairs well with beer. [5] Multiple brands that sell the variety only use vegan ingredients. [6] [7]
