Favorite Potato Chip Seasoning

ParkerCook_66639

Hey everyone! I'm experimenting with homemade potato chips and want to ask everyone's favorite potato chip seasonings! Everyone loves potato chips so what is the best flavor that you've ever put onto your homemade chips? I've messed with BBQ, jalapeno-lime and the trendy nori-salt mixes. Let me know what you like!

I have brined potatoes in a salt water solution before. Wasn't displeased with the results

@ParkerCook oh man this one sounds awesome

edit.: might have to register to see the recipe, but its a brie puree and vanilla oil and coffee on top of the chip.

@ParkerCook you could try doing the chocolate salt by making a salted chocolate ganache or mousse or sauce and dehydrate it maybe or freeze dry aerated salted chocolate mousse and blend it to a powder and use it as a seasoning maybe. you could also try to dehydrate some nice meaty sauces or jus gras and use it as a seasoning?or to add to this idea, a light coating of liquid smoke before you put the chocolate powders on. i like the idea of smoky chocolate chips.

Has anyone had any success brining potato chips? I've seen a few instances online where people have brined them. I'm going to be doing some brining tests in the near future with the end goal of an equivalent method to the equilibrium brine demonstrated here on CS.

Shocked nobody has said MSG yet. Nothing beats a Salt/MSG blend, finely chopped into a powder. Reminds me of Pringles!

The Tyrell's brand Sweet Chili are hard to find, but delightful!

@parkercook , I have not tried chocolate salt but, sounds great. Maybe just cocoa powder for first experiment?

The jamón flavored tater chips I had is Spain are my favorite.

SHort of that, I'll that salt and vinegar or just plain salted.

We came across these on a recent trip to Scotland. Haven't tried them yet as haggis was the source of some nasty food poisoning during the trip, but once we get over that emotional blockade we'll definitely dig in.

Flaked salt and cracked pepper! Seems simple, but so delectable. I'm also partial to grated garlic, lemon zest, fresh thyme, Madras curry, smoked chili, etc...not all in the same mix, of course...but mix and match.

ParkerCook_66639

@RobParker Have you ever tried making a chocolate salt? I figure you could either just mix a small amount of chocolate with large salt crystals and then follow your process or even process the mix without drying first. What do you think ?

Smoked sea salt. I throw a small pie pan of sea salt in the cold smoker any time I fire it up for cheese, eggs, etc.

HammeredChef_DEFINITELY_does_NOT_work_at_22134

@ParkerCook, i just mix the Kosher (or sea salt) with the ingrediant until I get the desired amount of flavor, spread on aluminum foil and put in the toaster oven at 185F until dried out, then a quick whirl in the spice grinder or whatever you have. The last Sriracha salt i made I left it in the oven accidentally, it had started to brown. I almost threw it out but, tasted it first......AWESOME toasted flavor.

I'm a purist. Salt only.

@RobParker How did you make your salts?

HammeredChef_DEFINITELY_does_NOT_work_at_22134

@Patrick, I made sriracha salt which works great as well as a wasabi salt. Because of the oil in truffle oil one might try using maltodextrin to make a powder first then blend with salt for a truffle topping

The Kettle chips? Yeah, I've tried them. They're good, but I prefer the Classic BBQ. Just a matter of preference.

I certainly wouldn't turn down the Backyard chips if they were offered!

mike.minasian

@Matthew Synder - Those are great, but I'm partial to the orange bag, backyard BBQ flavor if you haven't tried it yet.

matthew.snyder77

I discovered these in the last year.

They're stupid good. Brought a couple bags back from España, and they didn't survive the first day home.

ren_74229

These are pretty good though too:

Jack_Mayer_85396

@Parker, you might consider going with straight homemade chips (a little thicker than store bought ships) and then do a warm bacon, blue cheese sauce ...

ren_74229

This is the single greatest potato chip flavor I've ever tasted! Sadly, they changed the formula recently and the new version is off balance:

Patrik_Racz_19800

Cheese and bbq are the favourites. But truffle sounds good ad well, i know that gordon ramsay got truffle fries at his burger place maybe you can try it with chips like a truffle salt seasoning

ParkerCook_66639

@RobParker You can order tomato powder from Spice House to save you some tomato-drying-time.

HammeredChef_DEFINITELY_does_NOT_work_at_22134

now I made myself hungry... I will work on it next week

FrankM_3301

@RobParker Sweet! DO IT!!

HammeredChef_DEFINITELY_does_NOT_work_at_22134

@Frank, that pizza idea....olive oil powder, chorizo oil powder and finely ground dried tomato? with a parmesan dip?

matthew.snyder77

Wow.

matthew.snyder77

Okay, so that's fun.....................
