I’m sure you’ve heard of the snack classic Crunch Tators. Hormel made the crispy potato chips, and they were a great snack for when you wanted something crunchy but didn’t want to feel guilty about it. Now that I think about it, I don’t know if there is anything better than those little tators! They weren’t just good because they tasted good either they were also packed full of vitamins like B vitamins and potassium, essential nutrients for maintaining a healthy body.
What were crunch Gators?
You may be wondering what a Crunch Gator is. They were chips that came in two different flavors: plain and ranch. Crunch Gators are no longer in production but were a popular snack in the 90s. If you want to try out some of these old classics, they’re available at most grocery stores and some specialty foods like Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s.
Their production stopped in the 90s, so they are no longer in production.
Crunch tators are delicious, but they’re no longer in production. If you love crunch tators and want to make your own, some options are still available online. You can find recipes for making homemade crunch tator puffs at sites like this one or this one!
The delicious chips came in two primary flavors.
Crunch tators are still a popular treat, and they’ve been around for decades. The original Crunchy Tator Treats were made with real potatoes and salt, but the company has since changed its recipe to include vegetable oil instead of butter or lard.
The delicious chips came in two primary flavors, Original and Sour Cream and Onion. Still, there were other flavor options like Ranch Dip (similar to ranch dressing), BBQ Sauce (hickory smoked barbecue sauce), and Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce!
Crunch Tators Ingredients
Crunch Tators contain potato chips and mayonnaise. In addition to the main ingredient, several other ingredients contribute to its flavor:
Oil – This can be vegetable oil or canola oil. Vegetable oils have a high smoke point, so they don’t break down when heated in the oven or microwave. Canola oil is also heart-healthy and non-GMO!
Salt – Sea salt! Do you know what’s not good for your health? Table salt (what you usually get at restaurants) contains sodium chloride, which isn’t great for our bodies in any way, shape, or form. It causes inflammation, bloating, and constipation, among other things.
Flavorings – Food additives that give food its taste are called flavorings because they’re made from natural ingredients mixed into one substance called “flavoring” (like vanilla extract). Common flavorings include caramel coloring, artificial flavors like vanillin, artificial sweeteners like aspartame MSG (monosodium glutamate), and hydrolyzed vegetable proteins such as cornstarch.
Conclusion
If you want to re-create the crunch tators, you can make your own using tortilla chips. The best thing about making them yourself is that they are much healthier than eating them from a bag. You will also save money because it’s not always easy to find these snacks at stores anymore!
