For a TV-dinner accompaniment where reducing fat matters most, Walkers Oven Baked potato snacks are the clearest option among the products discussed here: Walkers states that its Sea Salt and Salt & Vinegar flavours have 50% less fat than regular potato crisps, and lists 13g fat per 100g for each. If you prefer a conventional potato crisp, the reviewed KETTLE, Seabrook, Pipers and REAL flavours list 29.5g to 30.7g fat per 100g; Tyrrells offers a lentil-based alternative, but it is not a potato crisp. Compare portions, salt and the exact flavour’s allergen information before choosing.
If you want a potato-based accompaniment with a stated fat reduction, consider Walkers Oven Baked. Its Sea Salt and Salt & Vinegar flavours list 13g fat per 100g, according to Walkers UK. They are formed baked snacks, rather than conventional sliced-potato crisps.
If a conventional potato crisp matters more to you than a reduced-fat claim, compare the reviewed KETTLE, Seabrook, Pipers and REAL flavours. Their published fat figures range from 29.5g to 30.7g per 100g, so their texture preference comes with a different fat profile from the reviewed Walkers Oven Baked flavours.
If the crisps will sit alongside a ready meal or other snacks, check the serving size and salt as well as fat. Read the ingredients and precautionary allergen wording for the exact flavour: Walkers lists milk-derived lactose and barley malt vinegar extract in its Oven Baked Salt & Vinegar flavour.
Start with whether you want a potato-based baked snack, a conventional potato crisp or a lentil crisp. Then compare nutrition on the same per-100g basis before looking at the amount you expect to eat.
Consider when: Reducing fat takes priority and a formed baked snack suits you. Walkers UK lists 13g fat per 100g for its reviewed Oven Baked flavours.
Trade-off: These are not conventional sliced-potato crisps; check flavour-specific ingredients and allergens.
Consider when: You prefer a conventional potato crisp over a reduced-fat baked snack.
Trade-off: The reviewed KETTLE, Seabrook, Pipers and REAL flavours list 29.5g to 30.7g fat per 100g on their brand nutrition panels.
Consider when: You are happy to choose a lentil crisp instead of a potato crisp.
Trade-off: Tyrrells lists 19g fat per 100g for Sweet Chilli & Red Pepper Lentil Crisps and states its 30%-less-fat comparison against standard potato crisps on average, not against baked potato snacks.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Fat and product type | Compare fat per 100g and read what a reduction claim is measured against. Check whether the snack is made from potato or lentils. | I want a stated reduction in fat, but still want to know whether I am buying a baked potato snack or a lentil crisp. |
| Nutrition labels | Use the nutrition panel alongside any front-of-pack traffic-light label; a front-of-pack claim does not give the whole comparison. | I use labels to compare foods rather than choosing by the pack name. In a Food Standards Agency and Ipsos Northern Ireland survey, approximately 49% of 611 people interviewed in Northern Ireland from September to November 2024 said they actively used traffic-light labels when shopping for food. That measures label use, not reduced-fat crisp preference. |
| Portion and salt | Compare energy and salt per 100g, then check the stated pack or serving amount. Allow for the rest of the TV dinner when considering salt. | A small bag and a sharing bag do not represent the same amount of food. I want to know what the portion I plan to eat contains. |
| Flavour and allergens | Read the exact flavour’s ingredients, highlighted allergens and precautionary statements on the current pack. | I need the flavour to suit my dietary requirements; a baked or vegetarian description alone does not answer an allergy question. |
KETTLE Lightly Salted lists 29.5g fat per 100g on the Kettle Chips nutrition panel. Its flavour name does not describe its fat content.
If fat is your main comparison, check fat per 100g first. Compare salt separately for the portion you expect to eat.
Walkers UK lists 96 kcal for a 22g Oven Baked Sea Salt pack; Seabrook lists 164 kcal for a 31.8g Sea Salted bag. Those figures describe different amounts of crisps.
Use per-100g figures to compare products, then use each pack’s figures to assess your intended portion.
Fat and salt are separate entries on the nutrition label. A crisp portion also sits alongside the other components of the meal.
Check salt for the portion, particularly if the TV dinner includes sauces, cheese or other packaged foods.
Walkers UK lists barley malt vinegar extract and milk-derived lactose in Oven Baked Salt & Vinegar. Ingredients and precautionary wording need checking by flavour.
Read the current pack for the exact flavour rather than relying on another bag from the same range.
These examples illustrate different crisp formats and label checks; a brand name alone does not establish the nutrition of every flavour in its range.
