These Homemade Parmesan Potato Chips are such a delicious snack, you won’t want to share! They’re crispy, cheesy and quick & easy to prepare.
Homemade Parmesan Potato Chips
Ever been in the mood to just make a batch of homemade chips…for just yourself? Well, I did, just last week as a matter of fact. I was looking at the bag of potatoes in my kitchen and it was as if they were just asking me to turn them into salty, golden brown, crispy chips…..so I gave in and said, why not!
You wanna know the coolest part? This fun bowl for me, myself, and I only took about 10 minutes from start to finish. Before I knew it, I was crunching on crispy homemade chips. It was awesome 🙂 ……then my husband came home from lunch and stole the bowl from me. Little stinker.
Next time you pass by a “spud” in your kitchen, turn that russet into a devilish little snack for yourself. Put them in a pretty little parchment lined bowl and eat em’ like no one is looking, lol! Can you tell that’s what I did?
Enjoy!
Here you have it, Left: salt, a potato, Parmesan (shredded or grated is fine) and canola or vegetable oil.
How to Make Parmesan Potato Chips
Use a sharp knife, be very careful and slice your potato very thinly. If you have a mandolin, that is a much better option. I was too lazy to pull mine out of the back of my cupboard.
Fill your pot full with about 2-inches of oil and heat it to 350 degrees F. When the oil has reached temperature, carefully drop your potato slices in. I do this in 2 batches, per one potato.
This metal spyder comes in very handy for this task, however a heat proof slotted spoon will do the trick too. Let these slices cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown on both sides.
Time to season. I was in the mood for just salt and Parmesan, but can you just imagine the fun seasonings you can play with?!
Here you have the best bowl of chips ever! Enjoy!

Oh my goodness, Jenny! These are right up my alley. I’m certain I wouldn’t be able to stop eating these pretty chips.
I love that I don’t have to share:)
I always love homemade potato chips…never thought to try them with parmesan. Thanks for the great idea!
Also amazing with sweet potatoes, no Parmesan just lightly salted.
Wow, these look amazing and they’re so simple! We like making our chips in the microwave… I know it sounds weird, but it works! I’ll have to try doing it this way!
These look delicious! I love potato chips.
If you’re feeling particularly frisky, you can also drizzle a bit of shredded Mozzarella and some chicken gravy over them for a poutine-like dish that will blow your mind. No, really, it’s unforgettable. We do it with fries all the time. Try it and you’ll see.
I am sold Lisa! That sounds like heaven!!
This is my kind of food! Holy yum.
Wow, they look very appetizing and sound easy to make. My hubby would love them! Beautiful photos!
Your pics are great. We’d love for you to post your pics/recipes at dishfolio.com!
delicious and beautiful!
These are the yummiest looking chips I’ve ever seen. I love homemade chips, but I’ve never thought to make them at home. Thanks for the idea and recipe!
oh these look yummy. Never attempted homemade chips before, you may have persuaded me 🙂
I believe I’m having potato chips for dinner tonight!
I haven’t taken the time to make homemade potato chips in years. Thanks for reminding me how yummy they are!
These sound amazing! I must make them soon!
I will have to try this with the cheese! A healthier version is to just line a cookie sheet with foil and line the potato slices up in rows. Sprinkle with just a little bit of oil (it doesn’t even need to have it on all of them, then add the salt and bake at 325 for 20 minutes…) I have been trying to stay away from the fried foods lately.
yay for single serving recipes! This has my name all over it!
Mmmmmm
I know I have written on your blog before but yesterday I had a problem…. my Internet was down all day… My problem was I make my shopping lists from your blog… and cook ONLY from your blog so when my internet was down I just had to make … well we’ll just say not as as yummy of a dinner my family is used to last night 🙂 Glad it is back up and I have you to help me cook!!! I can’t wait for your book to come out! THank you Thank you! I always appreciate what I have when all the sudden one day I don’t have it 🙂
I was just looking at a couple of potatoes in my cupboard this morning, wondering what I was going to do with them!
Those look absolutely luscious!!
Love that this recipe is for one because I could certainly eat them all. They look too good to share! 😉
It’s 6:50 am, is it too early for these? 😉
Oh those look evil! I really need to get a thermometer like that. I haven’t ever fried anything on my own. Do you have a lot of splatter?
what a fast and easy snack, side dish or appetizer!! they look great!
I am a chip addict so thank you for the single serving recipe!!
What a fun little snack idea! My little guy would love these for an after-school snack. The things I never think to make…!
Bless you girl! Yummy yum yum!
I had to laugh when I read you were to lazy to pull your mandolin from the cupboard, because that is so me. Very impressed with your thin slices. I can’t wait to try these.
I know Corinna, For some reason, I keep my mandolin in the very back of my cupboard which is just too inconvenient, lol!
Parmesan fries are great, but potato chips? I’ve definitely got to try these. Especially since I can make a batch just for me!
Just wait until you taste them Erin, I couldn’t stop, lol!
i think the best part is the “for one” part please and thank you!
Lol! Makes it kinda fun right?!
Jenny not only is this idea fabulous but that top photo is one of my all time favorites. The lighting and the color is gorgeous!
Thanks Marla, see you tonight!
These looks so tasty! YUM!
I love these! They look so much better than regular potato chips!
They really are Lauren, I was surprised how easy they were to make!
Easy, 3 ingredients, and a crowd pleaser, I can tell that for sure! Great recipe, Jenny! I always love as FEW ingredients as possible. Yum!
Thank you Averie!
I see these in my near future!
