OMG! have you seen the new Frito-Lay’s Regional Flavors Potato Chips? They all look soooo good! With flavors like Balsamic Sweet Onion, Tangy Carolina BBQ, and Honey Mustard, these chips won’t last long around our house. My favorite flavor though, is the Garden Tomato & Basil. It makes me think about so many of my favorite dishes, like the tomato basil mozzarella salad  served at the restaurant at the Grand Canyon, or the meatball appetizer  we love at our favorite pizza place in Flagstaff. But, my favorite dish that I make at home is my Southern Catfish Stew. It is thick and hearty, quick to prepare, and makes me think of lazy days fishing on the banks of Sweetwater Creek in my hometown of Douglasville, Georgia.

Southern Catfish Stew

3 tablespoons olive oil

3-4 cloves garlic, minced

2 stalks celery, chopped

1 med yellow onion, chopped

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon basil

1 28 oz can diced tomatoes

1 lb okra, sliced (fresh or frozen)

1 lb catfish fillets, cut in bite sized pieces

Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven. Add the garlic, celery, and onion and sautee until onions are clear. Add all the rest of the ingredients except the catfish. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 45 minutes, covered with the lid. Add the catfish, and simmer another 15 minutes. Serve with rice.  Serves 4-6 hungry people.

• These chips were inspired by popular American regional cuisine and include:

• Northeastern U.S. – Lay’s Honey Mustard
• Midwestern U.S. – Lay’s Creamy Garden Ranch
• Northwestern U.S. – Lay’s Balsamic Sweet Onion
• Southwestern U.S. – Lay’s Chipotle Ranch
• Southeastern U.S. – Lay’s Cajun Herb & Spice

All of the Lay’s Regional Flavored potato chips are made with all natural ingredients and cooked in healthier oils, like corn and sunflower oils, which contain 80% or more of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat – the “good fats.” They also contain 0 grams of trans fats per serving!

There’s also less sodium in them than you might think – a 1-oz serving of our Lay’s Regional Flavored potato chips contains less salt than a plain bagel!
