potato chip

A potato chip is a thin slice of potato that has been baked or fried until crispy. Typically prepared by slicing raw potatoes very thin, then cooking them in oil or baking to develop their crunch and flavor, potato chips are a popular snack food. They often contain added salt and seasonings to enhance taste. The process preserves the potato's natural flavor while creating a light, crunchy texture. Potato chips are widely enjoyed around the world as a convenient, portable snack, and they come in a variety of flavors and styles to suit different preferences.
