How Are Potato Chips Really Made?
Potato chips are made from fresh potatoes through a 13-step process: selection, cleaning, peeling, trimming, slicing (1-2mm), blanching (80-90°C, 1min), color protecting, dehydrating, frying (180-190°C, 1-2min in palm oil), de-oiling, flavoring, cooling, and vacuum packaging. This ensures crispiness, nutrition retention (high starch, low fat), and quality, minimizing browning and oil content for a tasty, affordable snack.
