Of all the national food holidays, National Potato Chip Day is definitely one to celebrate. Potato chips have served as such trusty companions to so many sandwiches, burgers and hot dogs, they're basically America's favorite food sidekick.
Our beloved snack doesn't have to come on the side, however. Potato chips can -- and should -- be eaten in your food as well as beside it. They provide crunch where there isn't any and salt when it's sorely needed. They can enhance everything, from sweet to savory.
