Immediately sprinkle the hot chips with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Fill a piping bag fitted with a star tip with mascarpone cheese or crème fraîche.

Pipe a small teaspoon-sized dollop of cheese onto the center of each cooled potato chip.

Garnish each chip with a small pinch of finely chopped fresh chives.
