Herr's Baked Potato Crisps - Cheddar & Sour Cream
What You Should Know
Herr's Baked Potato Crisps Cheddar & Sour Cream is the kind of snack you spot on the center shelves of the grocery store snack aisle, tucked beside other chips, baked chip varieties, and party-size pretzels. The 7 oz bright, printed bag stands out with bold flavor cues and belongs on the same shelf as mainstream chip brands and regional favorites. It reads like a grab-and-go option for casual occasions — movie nights, tailgate spreads, lunchbox add-ins, or the small-party chip bowl. Brand positioning leans on Midwestern, family-owned authenticity and approachable value: Herr's markets itself as a heritage snack maker offering oven-baked, lower-fat alternatives to traditional fried chips. The pack leans into a mild health halo with claims like baked and less fat than regular chips, but it carries no organic or non-GMO certification and includes artificial colors and flavor systems. In plain terms this is a highly processed packaged snack made from dried potatoes and a blend of isolated dairy ingredients, flavor enhancers, humectants, and colorants. Sensory notes: thin, crisp potato slices with a light, powdery cheddar and tangy sour-cream coating; crunch is more delicate than traditional kettle chips, with a dusting of seasoning that clings to fingers. Packaging is a non-resealable, foil-lined snack bag meant for single-sitting enjoyment or sharing from a communal bowl. The ritual is familiar — tear open, munch while watching a game or movie, or drop a few into a sandwich lunch for extra crunch — delivering a convenient, indulgent, and familiar American snacking moment.

Common Questions about Herr's Baked Potato Crisps - Cheddar & Sour Cream
Healthy is a bit of a moving target, isn't it? These crisps pack in flavor with 110 calories and a modest 2.5g of fat per serving, which is pretty decent for a snack. However, they do have added sugars and artificial colors, so while they can be a fun treat, they might not be the best choice if you’re aiming for a super clean diet.
