10 Chips and Dips to Take to a Tailgate
Is there any party combination more classic than chips and dip? Sour cream and onion Lay's, Doritos, and store-bought dips are delicious additions to your tailgate, but making your own will be much more satisfying. At home, you can experiment with ingredients and customize your chip and dip recipes with out-of-the-box flavors that don't exist as store-bought brands.

DIY Potato Chips
Other than the mandoline (or some really great knife skills), these don't require any gear and are really easy, says special contributor Anne Maxfield. This is a simple recipe, and you can add any spices that you want for flavored chips. Enjoy these chips with an easy southwest taco dip or onion dip.
Easy Southwest Taco Dip
It isn't a game-day celebration without a taco dip, but you don't have to overload yours with heavy cream cheese and sugary, pre-made salsa. Instead, make a zesty and creamy dip with yogurt as your base and add seasonings to your taste. Pair it with wheat tortilla chips for a healthier game-day snack. — Yoplait
Homemade Tortilla Chip Recipe
To make your own chips, forego frying: these crunchy chips are super easy to make and go great with homemade salsa. – Arthur Bovino
Onion Dip
Here you have a homemade onion dip that is inspired by the 1954 Lipton's Onion Soup Mix hit commercial. Back then, you would mix onion soup mix with sour cream, and bam, you have a delicious dip. While this dip has a few extra ingredients, we promise it tastes just as delicious. Pair this dip with DIY Potato Chips for a tasty tailgating snack.
The Perfect Potato Chip
The ideal potato chip is the combination of salty flavor, crunchy texture, and a hint of oil for taste. Being diligent about the width of your chip and exactly how you fry it is the only way you'll achieve that. For the non-traditional, a little barbecue or sour cream and onion seasoning is the perfect way to spice it up in addition to some salt. The perfect potato chip pairs well with guacamole or salsa. — Anne Dolce
Strawberry Salsa
Tart-sweet and pleasantly spicy, this fresh strawberry and green onion salsa is the perfect match for sweet cinnamon chips on game day.
Sweet Berry Salsa with Cinnamon Chips
When we think about salsa, we often think about it as zesty or spicy. This beautiful blend of berries and lemon juice is just the opposite: and ode to a dessert salsa that satisfies on every level. Plus, the cinnamon pita chips don't hurt, either. — Lauren Gordon
