Thin and crunchy. Potato chips are made by slicing potatoes super thin and then cooking them in hot oil, an oven, or with air until they turn golden and crispy.

Simple to fancy flavors. The most basic potato chips are just cooked and sprinkled with salt, but manufacturers create wild varieties by adding herbs, spices, cheese, and other flavorings to make every snack unique.

Many ways to eat them. You can enjoy potato chips as a standalone snack, serve them at parties as an appetizer, or pair them with a sandwich or meal as a side dish.

Three cooking methods. Potato chips can be deep-fried in lots of hot oil for extra crunch, baked in an oven for a lighter option, or air-fried using special equipment that uses little to no oil.
