Garlic Chips
Garlic Chips are a quick, easy way to jazz up plain potato chips! This snack-hack for garlic lovers is one of my favorites to serve at parties.
Who doesn’t love a crunchy potato chip? They are a favorite snack food for a reason. And while, these days you can get basically any flavor of snack chip that you want in the chip aisle, this twist is still one of my favorites.
Garlic Chips. Made much like my garlic fries, you simply take a bag of potato chips, toss it with fresh garlic oil and parsley. They could not be any easier.
Or any more delicious.
What ingredients do you need to make garlic chips?
POTATO CHIPS: You’re going to want thick cut kettle style chips for this recipe. They will hold up better to the garlic, oil and parsley. Even better if they have lots of the folded ones. Cape Cod Chips are excellent for this! (not sponsored just my favorite chips!)
GARLIC: Garlic haters need not apply for this recipe. That’s right, these are loaded with garlic. 10 fresh cloves, minced fine is the perfect amount.
OLIVE OIL: Not a ton just enough to coat the bottom of the pan to cook the garlic a bit.
PARSLEY: For a great pop of color! It’ll make your snack look fancy. And fancy snacks are more fun. Trust me.
How do you make garlic chips?
Friends, this could not be easier! Seriously.
STEP #1: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and parsley. Cook just until the garlic is fragrant 30 seconds to 1 minute.
STEP #2: Place the potato chips in a large bowl. Spoon mixture over the top of the potato chips. And toss to coat.
When I say that these garlic chips are addicting, I mean it! My family loved them and couldn’t get enough. They would be the perfect addition to any game day parties or BBQs.

March 31, 2022 at 11:00 pmI never though of adding garlic and parsley to my chips, but it looks like it would taste great! I would love to make the chips from scratch, but I imagine they must be time-consuming!

December 12, 2011 at 2:13 pmThis was a great idea for a recipe!

February 28, 2011 at 2:01 pmWow, I never thought to do something to storebought chips like that, awesome idea! Even more awesome for my husband, who looooves salt & vinegar chips (but mostly just the vinegar), and always complains they have too much salt and way too little vinegar. I never thought about adding stuff to them! =D

August 9, 2010 at 1:31 pmOh, no way! We have a convenience store here called Sheetz and they make the best garlic fries. So good! And now you post these chips, which are already one of my big weaknesses. I am so craving these and will definitely be making some.

August 9, 2010 at 6:45 amWow, what a great idea! If I may tout one of my own creations you might enjoy, I made up what I call “garlic gravy” a year ago. If you’re curious, search for it at theobsessivechef.

August 9, 2010 at 6:36 amWhat a great snack food hack! If you’re already in for a bag of chips, it’s not like an extra tablespoon of olive oil is gonna break the bank either ;-)
I’m gonna try this at our next family picnic!
