Fried potato chips are one of the most popularly consumed snacks globally due to the taste and easy availability across the market. Potato chips are thin slices of potato fried in oil with required moisture content and seasoned with salt and different flavors as required by the customers. There are various types of potatoes grown worldwide but the perfect potato for chips is the one with high sugar content and some level of moisture in it which gives yellowish-brown color and flavor to the chips while frying. Moreover, the fried potato chips are packed in air-tight plastic bags to prevent the chips from getting exposed to oxygen and react which spoils the potato chip and changes its color and flavor.
