About Snacks, potato chips, plain, salted

Potato chips — crisps — are thin slices of potato fried or baked until crisp and golden, then salted. Crunchy, salty and famously hard to stop eating, they're one of the most popular snack foods in the world.

Frying and salting transform a fairly humble vegetable into a calorie-dense snack: chips are high in fat (much of it from the cooking oil), calories and sodium, with some potassium and fiber from the potato surviving the process. Baked versions cut some of the fat, but they're still a snack rather than a nutritious food.

Salty, crunchy and moreish, chips are an occasional-treat food — their combination of fat, salt and crunch making portion control the real challenge.
