Then they were called crispy potato slices. Chips are prepared using 2 technologies. Classic - peeled potatoes are thinly sliced and deep-fried. A modern method - mashed potatoes are made from tubers, which are formed with chips. In addition, such a product can be easily made on your own at home, and it is much more useful.
