Ingredients
Scale
Potato Chips
- 3 (10-ounce) bags kettle-cooked potato chips
Spice Mix
- 1 Tbsp. garlic salt
- 1 Tbsp. paprika
- 1 Tbsp. black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the potato chips evenly across two baking sheets and place them in the oven. Bake for about 10 minutes until the chips are hot, oily-looking, and slightly golden, which helps re-crisp them and bring out their flavor.
- Mix the Spices: While the chips bake, combine the garlic salt, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. This spice blend creates a savory, smoky, and mildly spicy coating for the chips.
- Coat the Chips: Remove the baked chips from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Sprinkle the prepared spice mix evenly over the hot chips and gently toss them to ensure each chip is coated with the flavorful mixture. Serve immediately for the best crunch and taste.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, spread the chips in a single layer without overlapping on the baking sheets.
- Adjust cayenne pepper quantity to control the level of heat to your preference.
- These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Use kettle-cooked chips for optimal texture and sturdiness to hold the spices well.
