Ingredients
2 cups crushed potato chips (about 4 ounces)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) if using immediately.
Place potato chips in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until coarse crumbs form.
In a medium bowl, combine crushed chips, melted butter, Parmesan, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir until evenly coated.
Sprinkle over prepared casserole and bake according to casserole recipe, typically 15-20 minutes until topping is golden and crisp.
Alternatively, spread topping on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 5-7 minutes, then sprinkle over finished casserole.
Tips
Use kettle-cooked chips for extra crunch.
Store unused topping in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For a gluten-free version, ensure chips are gluten-free.
