The whole story
Walkers, in full.
Walkers Squares are square, ridged potato snacks made from a potato dough, and Salt and Vinegar is the sharp one. This multipack holds six 22g bags, 132g in all, and the pack says each bag is one serving. The full product name on the pack is salt and vinegar flavour potato snack, and the pack names Walkers Snack Foods Ltd as the maker.
The ingredients
According to the published pack listing, the snacks are made from potato granules, sunflower oil, potato starch, a salt and vinegar flavour (flavouring, citric acid, sugar, flavour enhancers monosodium glutamate and disodium guanylate, and potassium chloride), maltodextrin and salt.
Potato granules
Potato granules are dried, cooked potato, the same thing as instant mash. Mixed with potato starch into a dough and cut into squares, they give Squares their even, crisp bite, with a ridged surface that holds the seasoning.
Vinegar without vinegar
There is no vinegar and no vinegar powder on the list. The sharp taste comes from the flavouring, which leads the seasoning, and citric acid, with a little sugar to round it.
Two flavour enhancers
The flavour enhancers are monosodium glutamate and disodium guanylate, which work together to deepen the savoury side of the seasoning. Anyone who avoids MSG should read the list.
Potassium chloride and the salt figure
Potassium chloride sits in the seasoning beside salt. It tastes salty but contains no sodium, and the salt figure on a UK label is worked out from sodium. The label gives 2.2g of salt per 100g and 0.48g for each bag.
Maltodextrin
Maltodextrin, a carbohydrate made from starch, carries the seasoning so it spreads evenly over each square.
Disodium guanylate
Disodium guanylate is a flavour enhancer usually used alongside MSG; together they give a stronger savoury effect than either on its own.
Citric acid and sugar
Citric acid, the acid of lemons, gives the sharp, clean tang, bright rather than pungent without real vinegar. A little sugar rounds it: the label gives 3.5g of sugars per 100g, green.
Fibre and protein
The label gives 5.5g of fibre and 6.5g of protein per 100g, from the potato.
The crunch
The ridges make each square crunch in two stages: the crisp edge first, then the thicker middle.
Numbers for one bag
The pack gives 97 kcal (409 kJ), 4g of fat, 0.3g of saturates, 13.4g of carbohydrate, 0.8g of sugars, 1.2g of fibre, 1.4g of protein and 0.48g of salt for each 22g bag. That is about 5% of an average adult's daily energy reference intake, 6% of the fat and 8% of the salt. Per 100g it is 443 kcal (1858 kJ), 18g of fat, 1.5g of saturates, 61g of carbohydrate, 3.5g of sugars, 5.5g of fibre, 6.5g of protein and 2.2g of salt.
Reading the front of the pack
On the UK front of pack scale, per 100g, fat at 18g is red, just over the 17.5g line. Saturates at 1.5g are green, right on the line. Sugars at 3.5g are green. Salt at 2.2g is red. The small 22g bag keeps each portion to 97 kcal.
Allergens and diet
No allergens from the UK list of 14 are highlighted in the published ingredients. The allergy advice says the snacks may contain cereals containing gluten, milk and soya. The pack says they are suitable for vegetarians; there is no vegan statement and no gluten free claim. Recipes and factory arrangements change, so check the allergy advice on the pack you receive.
What the pack leaves out
The pack says there are no artificial colours, and there is no colour on the list at all.
Sunflower oil
Sunflower oil is the only oil on the list. The label gives 1.5g of saturates per 100g.
The shape
The brand describes Squares as potato snacks with angles: flat, ridged squares with crisp edges, sturdy enough to stay whole in a lunchbox.
A small bag
At 22g, a bag of Squares is a light portion at 97 kcal, and the flat squares pack neatly without breaking.
Six bags
At 22g, each bag is one serving, 97 kcal. Six bags cover a school or working week with one to spare.
The pack
The blue outer bag carries the white Squares name and a band for six bags of salt and vinegar, with one of the small bags in the corner.
Who it suits
A sharp, crunchy potato snack in a small bag suits a lunchbox. It is not suitable for anyone avoiding MSG.
Serving ideas
A bag goes with a cheese sandwich or a fish finger sandwich; for a party, tip a few bags into a bowl.
In the kitchen
Crushed, the squares make a sharp, crisp crumb for fish goujons or the top of mushy peas.
Storage and packaging
The pack advises a cool, dry place. The listing points you to the Walkers website for how to recycle the packets.
Other Squares
The same recipe comes in a 40g grab bag, and Salt and Vinegar is one of the three flavours in the twelve bag Squares Variety pack.

Serving ideas
Sharp salt and vinegar potato squares in six lunch bags.
Serving ideas, tried and simple
The Lunchbox Week
Walkers Squares Salt and Vinegar Snacks comes as separate bags, which is exactly what a week of packed lunches needs.
1 min5 daysEasy
You'll need
One multipack of Walkers Squares Salt and Vinegar Snacks
A lunchbox with a dry compartment
Method
Keep the bags sealed in the outer pack until the morning you use them.
Pack one bag per day, away from anything wet like fruit or a yoghurt pot.
Check the per bag figures on the Ingredients and Nutrition tab if you are counting calories or salt for a child.
Small sealed bags stay crisp for far longer than a sharing bag decanted into tubs.
The Crisp Sandwich
The oldest trick in the British lunchbox, and the one Walkers Squares Salt and Vinegar Snacks was practically built for.
3 min1 personEasy
You'll need
2 slices of soft white bread
Salted butter, soft enough to spread
One bag or a good handful of Walkers Squares Salt and Vinegar Snacks
Method
Butter both slices right to the edges. The butter is what the crisps stick to.
Tip the crisps onto one slice in a loose layer, two deep at most.
Close the sandwich and press down firmly with a flat hand until you hear the crunch give.
Eat it straight away. A crisp sandwich is a five minute food; after that the bread wins.
Soft white bread is the point here. Anything crusty fights the crisps instead of cushioning them.
Fish Finger Butty with a Vinegar Crunch
Salt and vinegar is the chip shop flavour, so Walkers Squares Salt and Vinegar Snacks belongs next to the fish.
15 min1 personEasy
You'll need
4 fish fingers
2 slices of white bread or a soft bap
Tartare sauce or ketchup
A handful of Walkers Squares Salt and Vinegar Snacks
Method
Cook the fish fingers as the pack says, until piping hot.
Spread the bread with tartare sauce or ketchup.
Layer the fish fingers, then a handful of crisps on top.
Squash the lid on and eat while the crisps still crackle.
A few crisps on the side do the job of the chips without the second pan.
The Sharing Bowl, Done Properly
How to put a sharing bag of Walkers Squares Salt and Vinegar Snacks out so the last handful is as good as the first.
2 min4 to 6 peopleEasy
You'll need
A sharing bag of Walkers Squares Salt and Vinegar Snacks
A wide, shallow bowl
A clip or a peg
Method
Choose a wide shallow bowl rather than a deep one; the weight of a deep pile breaks the crisps at the bottom.
Pour out half the bag, not all of it.
Clip the bag shut and refill the bowl as it empties, so what is in the bowl is always fresh.
Once a sharing bag is open, clip it tight. Air is what turns a crisp soft.
