What it is

Potato chips are thinly sliced potatoes that have been deep-fried or baked until crisp. They originated in the United States and are a popular snack food, often seasoned with salt or other flavorings.

Health notes

As a high-fat, high-sodium snack, regular consumption of large amounts may contribute to health concerns. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated potato chips. Evidence regarding specific health impacts is mixed and depends heavily on preparation methods and portion size.
