Salt & Pepper Potato Chip Seasoning

Homemade Salt & Pepper Potato Chips

I'm a big fan of most salt & pepper potato chips. My favorites are the Lay's Kettle Cooked Chips or Kettle Brand. I was hankering for some salt & pepper chips, but we only had the plain wavy HyVee potato chips on hand, so I decided to experiment and came up with this recipe. I think it works, and I've been enjoying way too many yummy chips ever since. 

Most people have the ingredients on hand, so I think it's worth a try to see if you like these. If you're a fan of salt & pepper potato chips, I think you'll be pleased.


Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons onion powder
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• plain salted potato chips of your choosing

Instructions:

Mix all ingredients in a small lidded container.

Either keep the chips in their bag or just do a handful in a quart size zip top bag. Add 2 to 2 1/2 teaspoons of the mix for a quart size bag, and use about 2 tablespoons of the mixture for an 8 oz. bag of potato chips. Seal the bag and gently shake to distribute seasoning. Add more seasoning and shake, if desired.

You can enjoy the chips immediately, but I think they taste better after sitting (sealed) for a day or so.

Store leftover seasoning in an airtight container. Scale the recipe up or down as desired.

Use whatever brand and style of plain salted chips you like. 
This local brand happens to be my fav.
