Plain chips, also known as potato chips, are thinly sliced potatoes that are fried or baked until crispy. Originating from American cuisine, they were first popularized in the mid-19th century and have since become a global snack staple. Made primarily from potatoes, vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt, plain chips are free of added flavors or seasonings, making their taste simple and classic. While they provide carbohydrates and trace amounts of potassium from the potatoes, they are typically high in fats due to the cooking process and may contain significant sodium depending on preparation. As with most fried snacks, plain chips are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. They can satisfy a crunchy craving but lack dietary fiber, protein, or essential vitamins, which are critical for overall health. Pair them with nutrient-rich snacks like fresh veggies or dips to enhance their nutritional profile.
