Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 (10-ounce) bags salted potato chips (the best-quality plain salted kettle potato chips)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons turbinado sugar (such as Sugar in the Raw)

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat the oven to 300°F (149°C).

  • Step 2: Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • Step 3: Place the chips on the baking sheets and scatter in a single layer. Bake until hot, about 5 minutes. When you can smell the chips, it’s time to take them out of the oven.

  • Step 4: While the chips are baking, dump the sugar and salt in a blender or spice grinder or mini food processor and process until finely ground but not powdery. In a small bowl mix the sugar, salt, paprika, garlic powder and cayenne pepper.

  • Step 5: As soon as you pull the chips from the oven, carefully dump them into a bowl. Pour the spice mix into a sieve, sprinkle it over the hot chips, and gently toss the chips to coat them with the spices, being careful not to break any.

  • Step 6: Serve the chips warm or at room temperature.
