Whole medium potato chips are sliced potatoes fried or baked until crispy, offering a popular snack or side dish rooted in Western cuisine, particularly American and British traditions. Made from simple potatoes, they provide carbohydrates and some dietary fiber, along with essential vitamins like B6 and potassium. However, preparation methods significantly impact their nutritional profile. Baked chips are lower in fat and calories, making them a lighter option, while fried chips may contain higher levels of unhealthy trans or saturated fats depending on the oil used. Often seasoned with salt, they can contribute to increased sodium intake if consumed in excess. Homemade or minimally processed versions provide a more wholesome choice compared to heavily processed chips with added artificial flavors or preservatives. Enjoyed globally, potato chips pair well with dips or sauces and are best consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
