Potato chips or crisps is a thin slice of potato that has been deep fried, baked, or air fried until crunchy. Commonly served as snacks, side dishes, or appetizers, they are among the favorite snacks.
What gives them the special flavor is fat and salt. They are basically known for those two things. And studies show that eating salt triggers the release of dopamine, making you feel good about yourself.
But how healthy are potato chips? And how are they made? This documentary is all about the technology of manufacturing our favorite snacks.
The video goes behind the scenes, inside factories, and more to show you and how these potato chips are made from raw materials to the final product.
