FAQs

Can I use low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese for this recipe?

While you can use lower-fat cottage cheese, whole milk varieties tend to produce crisper and more flavorful chips due to their higher fat content.

How long do the chips stay fresh and crispy?

They are best enjoyed within 1-2 days. Storing them properly will help maintain texture, and reheating briefly can bring back their crispiness.
