Potato crisps, often referred to as potato chips, are thinly sliced potatoes that are deep-fried or baked until crispy. Originating in the United States in the mid-19th century, they have become a globally popular snack. Typically seasoned with salt, they are available in a variety of flavors ranging from classic to spicy, cheesy, or sweet. Potato crisps are made primarily of potatoes, oil, and seasonings, though some varieties may contain additives or artificial flavorings. While they are a source of carbohydrates and small amounts of potassium from potatoes, they are generally high in calories, unhealthy fats, and sodium, which can contribute to weight gain and high blood pressure when consumed excessively. Eating in moderation is advisable, as they lack significant nutritional value. Opting for baked or lower-sodium varieties can be a healthier alternative for those looking to enjoy this snack with fewer health concerns.
