With its new Scalloped Potato Chips with Five Cheeses, Trader Joe's has turned a beloved side dish into a savory snack food.
Trader Joe's new Scalloped Potato Chips with Five Cheeses are an innovative take on the humble potato chip. The chips are infused with a luxurious blend of five cheese, including Parmesan, Cheddar, Asiago, Romano, and provolone. The delicious cheese blend is meant to "recall the creamy, luxurious flavors of a hot casserole dish of scalloped potatoes — the kind of gratuitously au gratin side you might enjoy at a steakhouse, in fact." The result is a snack that's savory and crunchy, but with tons of cheesy flavor." To take things to the next level, Trader Joe's suggests pairing the chips with its Everything But the Bagel Dip Recipe.
