Can you swap one for the other?

No. Rice and potato chip are different kinds of food, so neither stands in for the other, whatever molecules they share. Treat them as partners, not stand-ins. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.

What they have in common

Almost everything potato chip carries, rice has too: 35 of potato chip's 35 flavor molecules also occur in rice. Among the shared key aromas is ethanol (alcoholic, ethereal). Most of what they share is background chemistry many foods carry, so the overlap does little for the smell. Shared chemistry is a reason to try a pair, not a promise that it works on the plate.
