Boring potato chips. Not in my house. Not since I discovered taking plain-old regular chips to a new level. Like these quick fix sweet-and-savory potato chips. All it takes is a bag of chips and some seasoning. A few minutes in the oven and you’re soon enjoying chips that pack in flavor in every bite. Every single one. None of that ‘oh, shoot another chip that didn’t get any seasoning’ like you experience in the store-bought bags. Now I can load my chips up with tons of flavor. Slightly sweet, with a touch of spices such as thyme and sage, these chips are different and delicious.
Go Ruffled
The key to making these quick fix sweet-and-savory potato chips is using ruffled chips. Yes, you can use ‘smooth’ chips and you’ll have a great snack. But to make them fantastic, you want more of the seasoning on every chip, in every bite. That’s where those ridges come in. They’ll grab the flavor and keep it on the chips, where it belongs.
Check Your Pantry
I used the Sweet Peeper seasoning from Fire and Smoke Society to make these treats. No, that’s not a typo. It’s ‘peeper’ as in chicken. I used a chicken rub. This is proof that you can think way out of the box and make new flavors, new chips that no one else would think of. Go take a gander at your pantry. I bet you’ll find great seasonings that’ll make for great chips too!
