Potato Chips; Pieces of Potato Commonly Served as a Snack, Side Dish, or Appetizer
Potato chips are typically a very thin slice of sweet potato
usually dusted with salt or seasoning. A potato chip is basically a piece of
potato that is either deep fried or roasted until crisp. They are most often
served as an accompaniment or a simple snack food. They are available in a wide
variety of shapes, colors, flavors, and even to choose from different types of
packaging including bags, cans, boxes and cases. These types of snack foods are
sold all over the world in grocery stores, vending machines, and even
convenience stores. Potato chips are a delicious snack food loved by many
people from all walks of life.
In addition to being a great source of protein and a decent
source of carbohydrates, potato
chips are also high in sodium. This is due to the large amount of oil
used for deep frying the chips and the fact that the preservatives used to preserve
the chips have high levels of salt. While it may be good to occasionally have
high levels of sodium, regular use of potato chips can also increase the risk
of high blood pressure and stroke. Therefore it is important to monitor the
amount of salt and other preservatives that are used in commercially prepared
potato chips.
The main variety available in the market is seasoned with a
mixture of salt and butter. Some potato chips have flavors added such as garlic
salt, Cayenne pepper, and lemon salt. However, there is little difference
between the various varieties available in the market. Most of the potato chips
are made with high levels of salt. The flavor is often enhanced by the addition
of other flavors such as cheese, sour cream, nuts, and barbecue sauce. As
potato chips can be served with a variety of foods, there are a variety of
flavors and dips available for them.
Potato chips are available in plain, cream and onion, barbecue,
cheese, cheese, salt and vinegar, jalapeno, and other flavors. Moreover, they
are used as a component in various dishes such as potato chip chicken, potato
chips omelet, chips with tuna casserole, taco salad, crusty chip mac and
cheese, and other recipes. According to retail analyst IRI, Pringles, Ruffles, Lays,
Wavy Lays, Doritos, and Tostitos have been the most popular brands of chips in
