About Potato crisps

Potato crisps are thin slices of potato cooked until crisp, generally eaten as a packaged snack. In British usage, the term usually refers to the product called potato chips in North America. They may be fried or baked, salted or flavoured, and product recipes vary.

Crisps are typically thin, brittle and crunchy, with a golden colour and toasted potato taste; seasoning can strongly change the flavour. Packaged forms may use different oils, slice thicknesses or added flavourings. These differences, as well as cooking method, affect texture and measured composition, so the product name alone does not specify one recipe.
