Grilled Potato Chips

I’ve frequently used this space on the internet to soapbox about things that are mostly unimportant to everyone else, the most prevalent of which is the difference between a cookout and barbeque (a cookout is when you cook foods like hotdogs, hamburgers, grilled chicken outdoors. Barbeque is a noun). It’s been my mission over the past so many years in Maryland to stop people calling making hotdogs a “barbeque.” It’s just not. It’s a cookout.

The moral of the story, of course, is that tomorrow is my birthday and I’m having a cookout. A real life, hamburgers and sausages on the grill, cookout. With beer sangria and friends and family and hot July weather and sprinklers on and fun. I’m so excited, I can’t wait to grill everything from potato chips to atomic sausage. Happy July!

Grilled Potato Chips

3-6 yukon gold potatoes

Olive oil

Salt & Pepper

Slice your potatoes into 1/4″ chips. Brush olive oil on both sides and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Grill 2-3 minutes on each side, so crispy but not overcooked. Enjoy!
