Method
Cook the potato chips
- Heat a Blackstone griddle to medium-high and add the vegetable oil.
- Arrange the russet potato slices in a single layer and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until crispy and golden.
- Remove the chips and immediately season with salt.
Load and finish
- Arrange the crispy chips on a large platter and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Use a kitchen torch or return to the griddle with a dome cover until the cheddar cheese melts.
- Top with cooked bacon, sour cream, green onions, jalapeños, and drizzle with ranch dressing.
Notes
For the crispiest chips, keep the potato slices paper-thin and cook in a single layer so moisture can steam off quickly; season right after they come off the griddle. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container up to 2 days, though chips will soften—refresh briefly on a hot griddle if you want more crunch. Freezing isn’t recommended for best texture. If you want a lighter version, use low-fat sour cream and reduced-fat cheddar.
