Potato chips are one of the subcategories of the retail snacking department. They are made out of potatoes. After harvest, the main production steps include sorting, washing, peeling, trimming and cutting into thin slices. Further along in the manufacturing process, they are washed again and dewatered and either take a bath in the deep fryer or are baked until they take on a crunchy consistency.
