Home-made chips are a simple and customizable snack or side dish rooted in Western cuisine, often associated with casual dining and comfort food. Typically made from fresh potatoes, they are sliced thin or into wedges and cooked to crispy perfection, either by baking in the oven or frying in oil. Seasonings like salt, pepper, paprika, or herbs can be added for flavor. When baked, home-made chips offer a lower-fat option compared to their fried counterparts, making them a healthier choice. Potatoes are a natural source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, especially when the skin is left on. On the downside, frying can increase the calorie and fat content, and over-salting may contribute to excess sodium intake. Customizing oil type and cooking methods allows for a balance between indulgence and nutrition, making home-made chips a versatile addition to any menu.
