Potato chips, a popular snack, are thinly sliced potatoes that are deep-fried or baked until crisp. Originating in the United States in the 1850s, they have since become a global favorite, often enjoyed plain or seasoned with salt, herbs, and spices. Nutritionally, potato chips are a source of carbohydrates and provide small amounts of potassium and vitamin C. However, they are high in calories, unhealthy fats, and sodium, which can contribute to weight gain and high blood pressure when consumed excessively. While homemade or baked versions can offer slightly healthier alternatives, moderation is key to enjoying this treat without compromising health.
