PLANO,
Texas, Nov. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Friendsgiving
season is here and Lay's® – America's favorite potato chip –
is central to the dinner table with the brand's spin on the viral
cooking hack turning Lay's potato chips into a favorite side dish:
mashed potatoes.
"Lay's Potato Chip to Potato Dish with Matt James" is an exclusive cookbook kit
developed in collaboration with reality television star and
ultimate foodie Matt James that
makes it more fun than ever for fans to cook mashed potatoes for
their Friendsgiving feasts. Because Lay's potato chips are made
with real potatoes, the main ingredient of this dish is simple:
Lay's Classic potato chips.
The cooking hack made famous by creative foodies on TikTok has
generated over 1 million views to date. Now Lay's and James are
joining the trend to remind fans they don't need much more than a
single bag of Lay's potato chips to make the beloved dish. The kit
includes a limited-edition Lay's Classic potato chip bag reimagined
for Friendsgiving and an original Lay's mashed potatoes recipe
developed by James.
"Holiday gatherings like Friendsgiving are all about sparking
joy, and Lay's understands there is no better way to bring a smile
to consumers' faces than with good food," said Tina Mahal, senior vice president of marketing
at Frito-Lay. "Since Lay's potato chips are made with real
potatoes, we're able to show fans a new way to get creative in the
kitchen with this dish and bring a little extra fun to the table
this holiday season."
Foodies can head to @Lay's Instagram for a step-by-step guide on
how to create the simple recipe, featuring a crispy golden-brown
topping and packed with delicious Lay's® Classic potato chips.
"There's nothing I love more than enjoying delicious food with
my family and friends, especially around the holidays," said James.
"That's why I love playing around with new recipes – and this hack
of using Lay's potato chips might be my most fun one yet. I can't
wait to share this cookbook kit with people across the country who
aren't sure what to serve up this Friendsgiving."
