These crispy buffalo chips are a bold, spicy snack made with thinly sliced potatoes tossed in a buffalo sauce glaze and baked to perfection. Served with a tangy blue cheese dip, they are perfect for game day or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium russet potatoes
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Slice the potatoes very thinly (about 1/8 inch or 3 mm) using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife.
  3. Place potato slices in a large bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil to coat evenly.
  4. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, hot sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until combined.
  5. Arrange potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping. Use two sheets or bake in batches if needed.
  6. Brush or drizzle the buffalo sauce mixture evenly over the potato slices.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping each chip carefully after 10 minutes. Watch closely near the end to avoid burning; chips should be golden and crisp.
  8. While chips bake, prepare the blue cheese dip by combining blue cheese crumbles, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir gently until creamy but still chunky. Add chopped chives or parsley if desired.
  9. Remove chips from oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet to firm up.
  10. Serve chips warm or at room temperature with the blue cheese dip on the side.

Notes

Slice potatoes uniformly thin for best crispness. Flip chips halfway through baking to ensure even crisping. Use parchment or silicone mats to prevent sticking. If chips are soft after baking, return to oven for a few extra minutes. Blue cheese dip can be loosened with milk or buttermilk if too thick. Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; avoid refrigeration to prevent sogginess. Reheat chips in a 350°F oven for 3-5 minutes to restore crispiness.
