While I was an undergraduate in college, one of my favorite restaurants in Bethlehem was the Inn of the Falcon. Those who remember it (the Inn has since closed) will remember the cozy atmosphere, the luscious meals, and the engaging conversations with owners Al and Shirlee Neumeyer.
Aside from the spinach salad and the crème brûlée, the dish I remember most was an amazingly simple appetizer of homemade potato chips served alongside a bowl of hummus.
Why didn't I think of dipping potato chips in hummus first?
Because, at that time, I was too busy worrying about passing Math 205 than about unleashing the foodie within.
When I saw these Utz potato chips in the grocery store, I immediately put a bag in my shopping basket and made a beeline for the refrigerated section. I bet you can guess what I put in the basket next... That's right! A container of hummus. Roasted garlic hummus, to be exact. Since the chips themselves weren't flavored, I opted for hummus that had a little extra something to it.
So, for a really easy snack that takes "chips and dips" to a different level, follow these steps:
- Get a plate.
- Put a spoonful of hummus onto the plate.
- Place a handful of potato chips onto the plate, next to the hummus.
- Dip chips into hummus.
- Enjoy!
Or... you can be like me 99% of the time (ie. when I'm not taking pictures for a blog post) and follow these steps:
- Open bag.
- Open a container of hummus.
- Take a chip directly from the bag.
- Scoop up hummus with the chip.
- Enjoy!
If you haven't tried potato chips and hummus yet, what are you waiting for? I bet you have the chips in your pantry and the hummus in your refrigerator right now! Try it out and let me know what you think!
