Description

Indulge in these gourmet Cacio e Pepe Potato Chips that are loaded with savory Pecorino Romano cheese and freshly cracked black pepper, creating a delightful Italian-inspired snack.


Ingredients

Potato Chips:

  • 1 (5-ounce) bag plain kettle-cooked potato chips

Cheese Mixture:

  • 1/2 cup finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper (or more to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Garnish:

  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Spread Chips: Spread the potato chips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  3. Mix Cheese: In a bowl, mix Pecorino Romano, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
  4. Add Cheese: Sprinkle cheese mixture over chips. Bake for 5–7 minutes until cheese melts.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let cool for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to a platter. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Use thick, kettle-style chips for best results.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon for a flavor kick.
  • Best served warm but can be reheated briefly in the oven.
