Philly Cheesesteak

What is it?

In Lay’s 2020 Flavor Icons series, these ridged potato chips are seasoned to echo a Philly cheesesteak, with beefy notes, melted-cheese flavor, and a little grilled onion. The seasoning leans toward processed cheese, closer to Cheez Whiz than sliced provolone, which matters if you’re thinking about the sandwich it’s referencing. Like the other chips in the Flavor Icons lineup, it’s a standard thin potato chip carrying a concentrated savory coating, not a stuffed or kettle-style snack. The bag lists the usual Lay’s base ingredients, with potatoes, vegetable oil, and seasoning.
