This is a bit off topic but I LOVE Herr’s Ketchup flavored potato chips. They are hard to find so I buy a few bags when I see them at the market.

Time to stock up at Mitsuwa/ Nigiya!!
Perhaps if Japan didn’t practice prohibitive trade policy, the country could be importing potatoes from Washington state, Idaho and Florida. Shortages and price-gouging solved.
Not strictky potato but too good not to share such great names.
A favourite from India.
One from Malaysia

What do those snacks consist of, if not potatoes?
Cornmeal rather than potato based.

I just am eating some Ketchup Doritos.
I like Kurkure too, they are kind of like Indian Cheetos (both made by Frito-Lay).
Seems the practice had been well underway, but the company’s contingency planning fell short:

Informative article. Thank you for posting it.
Puzzling that a business with billions in sales and even manufactures in the U.S. had this raw materials challenge.

We tried these Biscuit and Gravy flavored chips from Lays recently - they didn’t particularly taste like biscuits and gravy but they were still good. Maybe like a sour cream and onion flavor with a hint of porkiness?

I had those whilst vacationing in Maine. I didn’t think much of them. Tasted like powdered gravy and not much else.
I find that most of the Lay’s uniquely flavored ones just taste extremely salty and not like much else.
Think Japan takes that honor (of best flavors)
I really needed a cold beer and some savoury snack to chill out after walking 10km. Chips tastes more sweet than “savoury spicy”. Brand is probably Hungarian, not German.
That’s cool. First time seeing it.
I cure my own egg yolks and grate them over many things. Duck eggs are richer, though. Yum!
