Sour Cream & Onion Potato Chips are probably my favorite flavored potato chips! You’ll absolutely love making these at home, and the flavor they have is so delicious!

Since I made Homemade Potato Chips, I thought I’d try my hand at flavored ones too!

If BBQ potato chips are more your style, be sure to give mine a try at home too!

Flavored potato chips

These Sour Cream & Onion Baked Potato Chips were everything I had hoped they would be.

Delicious! I mean really really delicious. Easy. Crispy.

A great way to make these at home.

You’ll know everything that’s in them, no weird ingredients.

And, they’re fun to make with the family.

I experimented with these to see if they were better adding the spice mix before or after baking, and they were definitely better adding the spice mix after the potato chips came out of the oven.

When I added the mix before baking, the spice mix lost most, if not all, of the flavor.

If you sprinkle the mixture onto the hot chips when they come right out of the oven, even before you take them off the baking tray, the mix sticks pretty well.

If you wait too long, the mix doesn’t stick too well, but that’s ok if you don’t tilt your chip when you bite it!

    Oh, these sound wonderful! I always make potato chips when we harvest our potatoes, but usually we just dip them in sour cream mixed with onions. I’m definitely going to change it up and do it your way this year! And…baked so I don’t feel quite as guilty!

    Dylan, the temperature is 350 degree F. I updated the post so the potato chip recipe is right here and you don’t have to go to another page to grab it. It is on a separate recipe card still. Hope that helps.

    I wanted something special for March Madness so made your sour cream potato chips. My heaven’s people stood around the bowl and didn’t move until they were gone. They’re so addicting.
