Take the classic party snack of chips and dip one step further by dressing up both store-bought potato chips and mayonnaise. Warming potato chips (kettle-cooked chips, which are sturdy and crunchy, work best) in the oven primes them to take on extra flavors, like Old Bay seasoning and lemon zest. Adding a bit of sugar to the Old Bay balances the saltiness and savoriness of the mixture—and makes the chips tough to stop eating. On the side, mayo spiked with lemon juice and grated garlic makes for a punchy dipping sauce.
