This recipe is a great way to fancy up a bag of salted kettle chips. The cast of fresh, herby, tangy, salty and creamy characters might seem odd, but they add just the right balance of flavours to plain crunchy chips.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1/2 tsp pepper

  • 1-200 g bag plain kettle chips

  • 2 tbsp tangy dill relish

  • 3 tbsp rainbow trout roe

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill

  • 1 tbsp minced jalapeno pepper

Instructions

  •  In a bowl, combine the sour cream, lemon juice and pepper.

  • Arrange the chips in one layer on a platter or baking sheet. Dollop the sour cream mixture evenly over the chips, followed by the relish. Scatter the roe, chives, dill and jalapeno over top. Serve immediately.
