All-dressed (French: assaisonnées or French: toute garnie[1]) is a potato chip flavour popular in Canada.[2]
History
While consensus is that the flavour first originated in Canada, it is unknown who or which company first introduced the all-dressed potato chip. Yum Yum, a Quebec-based company, is known to have created a variety of the flavour in 1978.[3] The term "all-dressed" and its French equivalent toute garnie originally applied to pizza, meaning roughly "everything-on-it", deluxe, or "the works".[1] The term "all-dressed" extended beyond just pizza and found its way into the world of potato chips. Many early references to the flavour all-dressed are linked to pizza flavour potato chips.[1] An all-dressed chip called The Whole Shabang is produced by American prison supplier Keefe Group. It became available to the general public in 2016.[4] Frito-Lay began selling all-dressed Ruffles potato chips that same year.[5] In 2024, Co-op Food in the United Kingdom began selling a limited edition all dressed variety crisp as part of their Irresistible range.[6]
