After spending time with Frito Lay recently, I was inspired to use some of their All Natural potato chips in recipes. I left Frito Lay with 3 bags of their potato chips and only 2 bags made it home lol. I thoroughly enjoyed the Garden Tomato & Basil chips while my husband devoured the Tangy Carolina BBQ chips. The remaining bag of Sweet Balsamic Onion chips ended up being the lucky flavor I used to make these Potato Chip Crusted Pork Chops.
The chips alone were loaded with flavor that only imparted more flavor with the pork chops… but you can certainly use plain potato chips or another flavor that suits you. The bottom line is, potato chips aren’t just for snacking on!
Potato chips make a great ingredient to use in cooking. It especially works nicely as a crust or coating on meats like chicken, pork, even fish. In this case, I used crushed potato chips to coat a few pork chops.
The pork chops were seasoned, dipped in egg and buttermilk then dredged in the crushed potato chips before baking. The result was delicious and didn’t make me feel guilty enjoying chips!

I fixed this for dinner tonight, and it was sooooo good!!! My 7 and 10 year ate it right up!! Made garlic roasted potatoes to go with it, so I changed the temp to accommodate both! Absolutely a keeper!!! 🙂
couldd you use whole milk?
Going to try these this evening but I'm going to mix in Ranch Seasoning with the crushed chips. I'll come back and let you know how they turn out.
