Enjoy National Potato Chip Day with Freddy’s
By the time March rolls around, other chips like corn chips and tortilla chips have already had their honorary days – in January and February respectively. If you like celebrating these days or other fun food occasions like National Tater Tot Day, then you may also be excited to make the most of National Potato Chip Day on March 14. At Freddy's, we make our own kettle chips with our Freddy's Famous Steakburger and Fry Seasoning®, so National Potato Chip Day is near and dear to our hearts. Keep reading for ideas that may inspire your own festivities, including ways to celebrate with Freddy's Kettle Chips!
Fun Ideas for National Potato Chip Day
Food holidays like National Potato Chip Day on March 14 aren't typically the only days on which these recognized foods are enjoyed. However, these celebratory dates do present the opportunity to do something a little fun or perhaps even out of the ordinary with that featured food. Below, find different ideas for how to make potato chips the star this March!
1. Collect various potato chips to sample.
Sampling different potato chips is a great way to celebrate National Potato Chip Day. While you might choose to grab a variety box from a store, you could also assemble your own selection with options like Freddy's Kettle Chips, as well as some other favorites or new flavors you haven't tried before. If you are hosting a gathering on this day, then consider inviting guests to bring a bag of their favorite chips to share.
2. Make potato chips at home.
Like Freddy's, try making some potato chips at home with our seasoning or enjoy with our Freddy's Famous Fry Sauce® or Freddy's Famous Jalapeño Fry Sauce®. Since making chips takes more work than grabbing your favorite bag, it may be an effort that you only do on special occasions. Therefore, National Potato Chip Day is the perfect time to make your favorite kettle chips recipe or potato chips in the air fryer, as explained at Well Plated by Erin.
3. Play "Guess the Potato Chip."
As one approach to this type of activity, you might gather a collection of people's favorite chips, remove them from any telling packaging, and see if people can correctly identify their specified top chip pick. Fellow chip fans could also put their choice of potato chips in a container prior to arriving at any March 14 events, place them on a designated table, and then everyone can taste and guess at the flavor or brand.
4. Create a salty and sweet treat with potato chips.
In its guide to National Potato Chip Day, National Day Calendar® recommends chocolate as a sweet variation on the many savory dips for potato chips. However, dunking your potato chip in chocolate is just one way to make this pairing happen. You could also make chocolate-covered potato chips or order a chocolate malt or shake from Freddy's as the dip for your potato chips.
5. Eat a sandwich in which potato chips are the star!
Try thoughtfully choosing and adding potato chips as a key ingredient for flavor and texture in your choice of sandwich. Alternatively, consider making a crisp sandwich – a popular comfort food in the UK that typically includes "crisps" or potato chips, bread, and butter, as further discussed at The Kitchn.
6. Order or cater meals that feature popular potato chip pairings, like burgers or other sandwiches.
National Potato Chip Day is also the perfect time to enjoy potato chips in some of their most familiar combinations, like having your favorite chips with your favorite burger, hot dog or sandwich. Here are two ways that Freddy's can help you achieve these menu goals for parties of one or more!
- Select Freddy's Kettle Chips for any combo meal, such as a Freddy's Original Bacon and Cheese Double Combo or the Prime Rib Steakburger Combo. You can also choose these potato chips for any of our three different Kids Meals and four different Senior Meals. These crunchy kettle chips feature the incredible flavors of our Freddy's Famous Steakburger and Fry Seasoning®.
- Choose burger bar catering or hot dog catering, so that guests can enjoy Freddy's Kettle Chips and build their own burgers or hot dogs. For example, if you select the Deluxe Burger Bar, your order will include 10 servings of chips and 10 doubles (with cheese), as well as a variety of toppings and condiments. We also offer 10 different individual bagged lunches that include a choice of main, Freddy's Kettle Chips and a brownie on our catering menu!
