Warm the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until melted.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Turn off the heat and stir in chopped parsley and a few grinds of black pepper.
Allow the butter mixture to cool briefly.
Pour half of the mixture evenly over half of the potato chips.
Grate your preferred amount of fresh parmesan on top of the chips.
If your mixing bowl has a lid, place it on top and gently shake the chips to coat them. If not, toss with a rubber spatula, taking care not to break the chips.
Combine the remaining chips and butter mixture.
Place the garlic butter chips into a serving bowl and garnish with extra grated cheese and a sprinkle of parsley, if desired.
