Perfect for family movie nights, parties with friends or just a late night craving, these Potato Chip Nachos pair crunchy kettle chips with an assortment of savory toppings to create the ultimate sheet pan snack.

Potato Chip Nachos …aka Party Chips

I don’t know when it happened, but one day I woke up and my sweet tooth was replaced with a salty tooth!

Instead of craving brownies or cake pops (my previous favorite late-night desserts), I now crave super crunchy chips and other savory treats… and this actually works out so much better!

Baking up a batch of brownies late at night is the last thing I want to do, but quickly whipping up a sheet pan of crunchy, loaded party chips in about 5 minutes?

Yea, I can handle that.

These chips are a new favorite for our family movie nights and I’ve served them up at my book club to resounding success. We’ve changed the toppings out a few times based on whatever we had on hand or if we were craving a different assortment of toppings, but the method stays the same.

I’m sharing the classic version with you today, but feel free to swap out the ingredients based on what you like or have in the house. (Check out our recipe tips below.)

I hope you and your family love these blue cheese party chips as much as mine does – and I’d love to hear if you come up with some tasty topping combinations!

• Kettle chips or thick cut potato chips – enough to fill the pan
• Cheese – we used bleu cheese but you could use your favorite shredded cheese instead
• Bacon – make sure it is already cooked and chopped into bite-size pieces
• Veggies – We used diced tomatoes and chopped green onions. Black olives and/or diced bell pepper or jalapeño peppers would also work well.
