What are Ideal Chips to Use for Appetizers?
For appetizers with creamy or rich toppings like sour cream-based dips, smoked salmon, or caviar, use kettle-cooked chips. And serve immediately for sturdiness!
Kettle chips don’t fall apart or get soggy as quickly as other regular chips. This way they stay fresh longer just in case guests are slow to make their way to the snack table. They’re also great for added crunch and durability.

How to make smoked salmon crisps:
1 — For the salmon crisps, mix all of the ingredients minus the salmon and chips into a small bowl and stir well.

Equal parts hilarious + I’m totally making this :)
not only is this a really cute idea, but unique falvor wise! They also look really aesthetically beautiful which, although is not integral to taste, is always a plus with food.
rae of love from berlin
What a clever idea. Not to mention I’m obsessed with their Jalapeño flavor!
uhhhh….BRILLIANT!
Great ideas, Ashley! I need simple ideas. ;)
Great idea! Where did you get the cute stemware?
It’s actually vintage that I picked up from a thrift store in Houston ; )
Love this idea, Ash. Kettle chips are better than crackers anyway, so I don’t know why I’ve never thought of this before. Yum.
Thanks B!
I love the idea of incorporating potato chips in meals. Yesterday I made sandwiches with spinach and cheese (veggie option) or sausages (for the meat eaters) and my boyfriend just added some kettle cooked salt and vinegar ships to them. I would have never thought of adding what to me is a movie time snack to other foods. I really, really love this idea and want to give it a try!
That’s definitely a man’s snack!
I love this! Also, where is the marble serving board from? It’s gorgeous.
Thanks Ailee! It’s actually from Crate & Barrel : )
It’s so pretty. I recently served desserts made with coconut oil on a white marble board from Sur La Table… and still have the circular marks to prove it. Sad, sad day.
