Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, try using a can of cream of celery soup in addition to or instead of cream of mushroom. You can also add a pinch of dried dill to the filling. Feel free to experiment with different potato chip flavors, like salt and vinegar or sour cream and onion, for a varied taste. Ensure the chips are lightly crushed, not pulverized, for the best texture.
