For the first time since 2020’s introduction of the Scorchin’ line, Pringles is introducing new flavors to its permanent roster. Pringles Harvest Blends features four all-new flavors—and this time, the mustachioed crisp company isn’t just mixing up a new flavor powder, they made entirely new crisps (remember, you can’t call Pringles potato chips). Behold, the multigrain Pringle (available in Farmhouse Cheddar and Homestyle Ranch) and the sweet potato Pringle (available in Sea Salt and Smoky BBQ)!
What happens to a Pringle when it isn’t a Pringle as you know it anymore? Does it still satisfy in the same way? Once you pop, can you still not stop? We tasted all four new Pringles flavors (available now in stores) to find out.
How do you know these Pringles are multigrain? Just look at the crisp. It’s speckled with little bits of what one can only presume is grain. But that’s where it ends. The crisps themselves don’t taste like much, so all you get is overpoweringly tangy ranch powder. Just stick to regular ranch Pringles.
While the flavor of these Farmhouse Cheddar Pringles is better than the ranch, the multigrain crisps still don’t offer enough to keep me coming back. They dissolve into nothing—there’s just not enough crunch to support such a bold flavor. If the crisps were actually speckled with whole grains, that would offer more texture and flavor, which would pair very nicely with the cheesy flavor. Alas, the toasted grains were not apparent to me.
Now we’re talking. Sweet potato Pringles are awesome. These pale orange crisps have a touch of sweetness and a great crunch—they’re crunchier than regular Pringles. And the touch of sea salt balances out the sweetness perfectly. They really taste like you’re eating a sweet potato fry in Pringles form! It feels like whoever engineered these really put a lot of love and attention into them. These are some of my new favorite Pringles. Get them ASAP.
I didn’t like these as much as the Sea Salt versions. The sweet BBQ flavoring paired with the sweet crisp tasted too one note. But the crunchy, substantial texture is still satisfying and I don’t want to discourage Pringles from making more flavored sweet potato crisps. How about the Farmhouse Cheddar on some of these instead? Or maybe a honey mustard? I’m pulling for you, Pringles!
