Jalapeno Lime Potato Chips
Alright it’s crunch time now. If you need one last recipe for your Super Bowl party menu, then boy have I got one for you. It’s easy, peasy. I’m talking 2 minutes and you’re done. Perfect to make sure that you can get into the living room in time to watch kick off and more importantly, make sure you don’t miss any of the commercials.
After I made these Garlic Chips for my friend’s bridal shower, I immediately started thinking of other ways that I could gussy up regular potato chips. It is such an easy way to make a flavorful snack. It has taken me a while, but I finally started experimenting again. Like my original experiment, these chips do have plenty of garlic but the real stars are the spicy jalapeno, the smokey cumin and the cool citrus lime flavor.
Jalapeno Lime Potato Chips
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 jalapeno minced
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 8 ounce bag potato chips
- 1/2 teaspoon lime zest
- chopped cilantro optional
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add in garlic, jalapenos, cumin and 1/2 teaspoon lime juice. Cook about 1 minute or until jalapeno is slightly softened and garlic is fragrant.
- Place potato chips in a large bowl, pour jalapeno mixture over the top. Toss to coat the potato chips. Drizzle with remaining lime juice. Sprinkle with lime zest and chopped cilantro if desired. Serve.

April 21, 2011 at 6:38 amHi Alice, I recommend using thick cut chips like kettle cooked. They are less likely to get soggy. I imagine if they do sit for a while they might get soggy so just make sure to pour the oil and lime juice over the top just before serving.
