9 Salty, Crispy Recipes for Potato Chip Fans
Here's how we like to elevate the simple snack with seasonings or a touch of cheese, and use it in recipes from omelets to salads and casseroles.
You can make your own potato chips at home with just three ingredients: potatoes, salt, and oil, but we're also partial to a bag of quality chips from the store. Whether you serve homemade potato chips or dress up your favorite store-bought brand with barbecue spices or dried caper dust, elevating this simple snacking pleasure keeps entertaining easy. Potato chips can also serve as an unpretentious topping for sides, salads, or casseroles. Here are our favorite recipes with potato chips that celebrate the salty, crunchy snack.
