Potato Chips (crisps in the UK), are deep-fat fried potatoes. Most chips have salt on them. Chips are thinner and more cooked than French fries, making them crunchy. In the United Kingdom, "chip" usually refers to french fries.
Potato chips (often just chips), or crisps (in British English), are thin slices of potato that may have been deep fried or baked until crunchy. They are commonly served as a snack, side dish, or appetizer. The basic chips are cooked and salted; additional varieties are manufactured using various flavorings and ingredients including herbs, spices, cheeses, other natural flavors, artificial flavors, and additives.
