Potato chips are thin slices of potatoes that are baked, fried, popped or kettle-cooked until they become crunchy. These chips are usually made of floury potatoes as they have lower levels of water and sugar. The colour of potato chips is yellowish-brown which is the result of the combination of amino acids and sugar. These chips are served as a snack, appetiser or side dish with the addition of other flavours and ingredients such as salt, cheeses and spices among others. A new research report by IMARC Group, titled “Potato Chips Market – Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2017-2022”, estimates that the market was worth more than US$ 28 Billion in 2017.
