Ingredients
Scale
Chips and Toppings
- 1 bag of kettle-cooked potato chips (about 8 oz)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese blend)
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon (crumbled)
Garnishes and Seasoning
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup green onions (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chips: Arrange the kettle-cooked potato chips in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Ensure the chips are spread out and not overlapping to allow even coverage and melting.
- Add Cheese and Bacon: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the chips. Then, evenly distribute the crumbled cooked bacon pieces on top of the cheese.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the loaded chips in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, creating a crispy cheesy topping.
- Garnish: Remove the baked chips from the oven. Drizzle sour cream over the top, then sprinkle with chopped green onions and fresh parsley for added color and flavor. Optionally season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to your taste.
- Serve: Serve the loaded crispy potato chips hot. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

- For extra crispiness, spread chips in a single layer without overlapping.
- Feel free to substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese blend.
