Self-proclaimed 'Tik Tok Chef', @Elis_Kitchen, has become a social media sensation after one of his latest food recipes went viral. He is taking innovation to a whole new level by transforming a bag of chips into a bowl of mashed potatoes.
Yes, you heard right.
It gets weirder...
@Elis_ Kitchen's "signature cheesy mashed potatoes" video has been viewed more than 670,000 times on TikTok as of Wednesday. To make his mashed potatoes, Elis first adds salt and vinegar to a boiling saucepan, he then throws in a bag of classic Lay's chips.
He then 'cooks' the chips until they begin to lose their shape and drains the pot. Before he finishes off his dish, Eli drinks a shot of the cooking liquid.
We are not grossed out at all!
Food critics and just everyday social commenters were not impressed with Eli's version of mashed potatoes, with many commenting that it is disgusting.
