1. Put them in your sandwiches. Okay, so this isn’t an original idea. I actually got it several years ago (I’m dating myself here, I realize) from The Cosby Show. But because I am an enthusiastic Mainer, I have discovered that adding potato chips to a lobster roll is really the only way to improve on the lobster roll.

2. Put them on top of your macaroni and cheese. It only takes a few potato chips to transform an ordinary mac and cheese into something extraordinary. Just crush them up, sprinkle them on top, and bake! For an extra savory experience, add bacon. And because I am an enthusiastic Mainer, I also sometimes add lobster. You really can’t go wrong with pasta and sharp cheddar.

3. Put them on top of baked fish. To make your white fish extra crunchy and salty, add a layer of mayo and crushed potato chips to the fish before you put it in the oven. Then bake as normal. My kids love this so much, they now refuse to eat fish any other way.

4. Put them in your omelet. I stole this one from Rachel Ray, so give the credit to her. To keep your omelet extra fluffy, don’t crush the chips, and fold them into the eggs. You can make this with or without the cheese, though I recommend sharp cheddar and kettle cooked chips. And yes, this counts as a vegetable omelet!

5. Dip them in chocolate. I know, I know, I dip everything in chocolate, but for real, this is a delicious treat. I recommend hot, melted semi-sweet chocolate and plain ridged potato chips. Dip each chip halfway into the chocolate. Then let cool and harden, and you’ve got yourself a simple yet sophisticated party snack. (You’re welcome.)
