Grilled Cheese Potato Chips Recipe

Introduction

These Grilled Cheese Potato Chips are irresistibly crispy, with a rich, cheesy flavor perfect for any occasion. Made entirely on the Arteflame grill, these chips are seasoned with savory spices and topped with melted cheese for an ultimate grilled snack.

Ingredients:

• 4 large Russet potatoes (thinly sliced)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp cheddar cheese powder (or finely grated cheddar)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp sea salt (more to taste)
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Fire Up the Arteflame Grill

Start by lighting your Arteflame grill. Pour some vegetable oil onto three paper napkins, place them in the center, and stack firewood on top. Light the napkins and wait about 20 minutes for the grill to heat up to around 400-450°F, perfect for crispy grilling.

2. Prepare the Potatoes

Thinly slice the potatoes using a mandoline or a sharp knife (about 1/8 inch thick). Soak the slices in cold water for 10-15 minutes to remove excess starch, which will help them crisp up. Drain and thoroughly dry the potato slices with paper towels.

3. Season the Potatoes

In a large bowl, toss the dried potato slices with melted butter, Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the slices are evenly coated.

4. Grill the Chips

Lightly oil the flat cooktop near the center of the Arteflame grill. Place the seasoned potato slices directly onto the hot surface. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, ensuring the chips become golden and crispy. Move them to cooler areas of the grill as needed to prevent burning.

5. Add More Cheese

For extra cheesiness, sprinkle more grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese onto the chips while they’re still on the grill. Let the cheese melt slightly for that perfect cheesy layer.

6. Serve and Garnish

Once the chips are crispy and golden, remove them from the grill and allow them to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, and serve immediately.

7. Pair with Dips (Optional)

Serve your cheesy chips with a side of ranch dressing, spicy ketchup, or a cheesy dip for an extra layer of flavor.

Tips:

• Extra Crispy: Make sure your potato slices are evenly thin and completely dry before grilling for the best crunch.
• Melty Cheese: For a gooey cheese finish, melt shredded cheese onto the chips during the last minute of grilling.
• Avoid Burning: Keep a close eye on the chips, moving them around the cooktop as needed to prevent over-browning.

Recipe Variations:

1. Spicy Cheese Chips: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning for a spicy kick.
2. Truffle Cheese Chips: Drizzle truffle oil and sprinkle with Parmesan for a gourmet twist.
3. Herbed Cheese Chips: Add finely chopped rosemary, thyme, or oregano to the seasoning mix for extra depth of flavor.
4. Cheddar Bacon Chips: Sprinkle cooked, crumbled bacon over the chips with the melted cheese for a savory, indulgent treat.
5. Blue Cheese Chips: Crumble blue cheese over the chips just before serving for a bold, tangy flavor.

Best Pairings:

• Grilled burgers
• Grilled sausages or bratwurst
• Creamy dips like ranch or sour cream and onion
• A cold beer or iced tea

Conclusion:

These Grilled Cheese Potato Chips are the ultimate snack—crispy, cheesy, and bursting with flavor. They’re simple to make on the Arteflame grill and sure to be a hit at any BBQ or gathering!
