The only difference is the size of the grains of salt. You can use table salt for cooking and sprinkle cooking salt over your chips. Table salt is finer so that it will sprinkle easily from the salt pot and (usually) contains an anti-caking ingredient so that it remains free flowing.

think cooking salt is more saltier than table salt... as i been led to believe!
