About Potato crisps or chips
Potato crisps or chips are thin potato slices cooked to a crisp texture and commonly eaten as a snack. The wording spans regional English usage: “crisps” is usual in British English, while “chips” commonly names this product in North American English. They are often sold salted or flavoured.
The pieces are generally brittle and crunchy, with a golden colour and toasted potato flavour. Products may be fried or baked and vary in thickness, oil and seasoning. Because the record combines regional terms without specifying a recipe, it describes the broad snack category rather than one particular formulation.
