Step 1
Drain the 4 oz anchovy fillets (or tuna) and pat dry with paper towels. Cut each fillet into 1-inch pieces if large.
Step 2
If using whole pickled peppers, slice them into 1-inch wide strips. You should have about 12 strips total.
Step 3
Take one toothpick and thread a green olive, then a folded anchovy piece, then a pickled pepper strip. Repeat for all 12 skewers.
Step 4
Arrange the skewers on a serving platter. Just before serving, crush the 1 cup potato chips into coarse crumbs and sprinkle over the skewers for crunch.
Step 5
Serve immediately so the chips stay crisp. These are best enjoyed fresh, but can be assembled ahead and topped with chips at the last minute.
