Fellow Ranch-aholics rejoice! Real Ranch flavor is here at least! My quick fix Ranch potato chips aren’t like those wimpy store-bought ones. You know the ones. The first 8 chips are covered in seasoning and you’re happy. The rest of the bag is as plain as can be. All the seasoning has decided to go to the bottom of the bag. And not on the chips. Well, not these! You can make these as Ranch-y as you want!
Heat ‘Em. Spice ‘Em. Eat ‘Em.
It’s literally that easy to make these quick fix ranch potato chips. The chips taste great. You can see the seasoning. And the cool part is I can add a little or a lot. I’m in control here.
You start with cheap chips. No reason to get the expensive ones. You actually want them a bit oily, a bit greasy. Why? Seasoning sticks to oily and greasy. Same reason you want rippled chips. Seasoning sticks to ripples, too.
Don’t grab those wimpy Ranch seasoning packets, the ones you use for making dips and dressings. Hey, they’re fine for that but they aren’t going to season a big bag of chips. Go big. Grab a shaker canister and season to your heart’s content!
