About Potato chips
Potato chips are thin slices of potato fried or otherwise cooked until crisp, commonly eaten as a packaged snack or served as a side. They are usually salted and may be seasoned. The term can refer to different slice thicknesses, cooking methods and product formulations, rather than one standardized preparation.
They are typically golden to brown, brittle and crunchy, with a toasted potato flavour; seasoning can add other flavours. Packaged chips may be fried or baked and can include oil, salt and flavourings. Freshly cooked and packaged versions differ in moisture and additions, which matter when comparing them.
