Potato crisps (chips)

It's not usually hard to use up leftover crisps, eating them is usually the best solution. But there are lots of other interesting uses for potato crisps (or chips if you're in the US) that are probably worth buying an overly large bag for.

Salty and sweet always go together so there are plenty of cookie, fudge and brownie recipes that throw in a bunch of crisps (including the brilliant Momofuku compost cookies):

• Momofuku compost cookies (other crisp cookie recipes)
• Caramel potato chip fudge
• Potato chip brownies

Also anything that would benefit from a bit of salty crispiness is a good destination for crisps.

• Meat Loaf's tuna fish casserole surprise
• Crisp coated fried chicken

Then some things just don't follow any sort of reason, like Ferran Adria's Potato Chip Omelete (or Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's verison)
