  • While working at a restaurant where chips were added to every sandwich, I collected the crumbs from the "empty" bags. At the end of a shift there would be a pound of crumbs to take home. I would boil them with a little water in a covered fry pan and once soft, uncover and brown them. Yum, hash brown potatoes! No oil or salt needed. (It is amazing what is discovered while starving.)

  • Sometimes I have found them, but they are usually just shards under a sofa cushion or some such thing.

  • What are leftover potato chips?
