Potato chips are thinly sliced potatoes that are deep-fried or baked until crispy, seasoned with salt and often additional flavors like barbecue, sour cream and onion, or cheese. Originating from the United States in the mid-19th century, they are a popular snack in cuisines worldwide. Typically made with potatoes, oil, and seasoning, they can be high in calories, unhealthy fats, and sodium, depending on preparation methods. While potato chips can offer trace amounts of potassium and fiber from the potatoes, their nutritional value is often overshadowed by their low nutrient density and high levels of unhealthy additives in flavored varieties. Baked or minimally processed versions provide a slightly healthier alternative, as they are lower in fat. Moderation is key when enjoying potato chips, as their excessive consumption can contribute to weight gain, elevated blood pressure, and other health concerns.
