Smoked Potato Chips

Why you'll love this recipe

• Minimal effort: This is a great smoker recipe to try when you're smoking meat (like Texas-style smoked brisket) and have extra space on the grill. Just dump chips into a foil pan, season, and smoke.
• Customizable: The sky is the limit when it comes to making homemade smoked potato chips! Make them spicy, give them extra smoke flavor, season with your favorite bbq blend.
• Great for any occasion: These smoked potato chips are the perfect side dish for backyard barbecues. They're also great for game day, parties, family get-togethers, and afternoon snacking.

Ingredient notes

• Potato chips: I've made smoked potato chips with regular classic potato chips like Lay's, as well as crinkle-cut potato chips like Ruffles. The ridges in Ruffles make these chips extra crispy and crunchy!
• Seasoning: You actually don't need to add seasoning if you don't want to, but I'd recommend it for added flavor. Just a few shakes of your favorite seasoning blend will do the trick.
• Cooking oil spray: If you use seasoning, be sure to spray the chips with cooking spray so the seasoning sticks better.

How to make smoked chips

1. Preheat smoker to 225F and pour potato chips into a foil pan.
2. Spray with cooking oil and gently toss with your favorite bbq seasoning blend.
3. Smoke for 1-2 hours, shaking halfway through. Chips should look slightly toasted when done.
