Description

Cacio e Pepe Potato Chips are a crispy, cheesy, and peppery snack that elevates classic potato chips with the flavors of the Italian pasta dish, Cacio e Pepe. The combination of finely grated Parmesan and coarsely ground black pepper adds a rich, bold kick to every bite.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 8-oz bag kettle-cooked potato chips
  • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread the kettle-cooked potato chips in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. Evenly sprinkle the finely grated Parmesan cheese over the chips, followed by the coarsely ground black pepper.
  4. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chips are slightly golden. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  5. Remove from the oven and allow the chips to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the black pepper.
  • These chips are best served immediately after baking, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them crispy.
