Potato snacks are popular, savory treats made from potatoes through baking, frying, or dehydration processes. Commonly found in various forms like chips, wedges, or puffed crisps, they originate from global cuisines but are particularly associated with American comfort food culture. Ingredients often include potatoes, vegetable oil, salt, and various seasonings or flavorings like cheese, barbecue, or sour cream and onion. While they are a source of carbohydrates and can provide some potassium and vitamin C from the potatoes, they are typically high in sodium and fats, especially saturated and trans fats in fried varieties, which may contribute to heart health concerns when consumed excessively. Baked or air-popped options tend to be healthier alternatives, offering reduced fat content. Moderation is key to enjoying potato snacks as part of a balanced diet while minimizing potential health risks.
