Potato chips are one of the world's most popular snacks. Most of us grab a handful straight from the bag and call it a day. But if you're feeling adventurous, there are some weird ways to enjoy chips that might just become your new favorite guilty pleasure.
Here are five weird ways to eat potato chips that are surprisingly delicious.
1. Potato Chips on Ice Cream
At first glance, this sounds completely wrong. Sweet ice cream and salty potato chips? Trust me—it works. The creamy sweetness of vanilla ice cream pairs perfectly with the salty crunch of chips. Simply crush a handful of plain or kettle-cooked chips over a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The combination creates a sweet-and-salty dessert that's hard to stop eating.
2. Chip-Crusted Peanut Butter Sandwich
Forget bread crumbs. Crushed potato chips can add a satisfying crunch to a peanut butter sandwich. Spread peanut butter on your bread, sprinkle in a layer of crushed chips, and close it up. The salty crunch takes an ordinary sandwich to a whole new level.
Bonus points: Add a little honey or jelly for extra flavor.
3. Potato Chip Nachos
Why should tortilla chips have all the fun? Spread potato chips on a plate and top them with shredded cheese, bacon bits, jalapeños, green onions, and sour cream. Microwave until the cheese melts and enjoy.
The thicker the chip, the better. Kettle chips hold up especially well under all those toppings.
4. The Breadcrumb Substitute
If a recipe calls for panko, breadcrumbs, or a crushed cornflake topping, ignore it. Use potato chips instead. This works flawlessly on baked mac and cheese, green bean casseroles, or even as a coating for chicken tenders.
5. Potato Chip Breakfast Cereal
Okay, this one is definitely weird. Instead of pouring cereal into a bowl, add a handful of crushed potato chips and a small amount of milk. Some people even mix in bacon bits or shredded cheese for a savory breakfast experiment.
Will it replace your favorite cereal? Probably not. But it might be the strangest way you've ever eaten potato chips.
Potato chips are far more versatile than most people realize. Whether you're sprinkling them on ice cream, stuffing them into sandwiches, or turning them into nachos, there's no shortage of creative ways to enjoy this classic snack.
The next time you open a bag of chips, skip the ordinary and try something weird. You might discover a new favorite snack combination and at the very least, you'll have a good story to tell!
