A controversial survey has declared that KFC chips are the best in Australia.
In Australia, the best variety of potatoes for making chips is the Russet Burbank. Its long shape makes it ideal for cutting in to thick chips or thinner French fries. If the Russet Burbank isn't available, Yukon Gold, Sebago, Kennebec, Shepody or Coliabn are also good alternatives.
Lay's was the leading potato chip brand of the United States with about 3.6 billion U.S. dollars worth of sales in 2021/2022, accounting for approximately 41 percent of the potato chip market that year. Potato chips are one of the subcategories of the retail snacking department. They are made out of potatoes.
The healthiest chip choices contain real, whole ingredients, are made with plant oils (healthy choices include sunflower, safflower, peanut, avocado, soybean, and canola, among others), and don't have a lot of highly processed ingredients, salt, sugar, or other additives.
Pringles isn't high on the list of what we consider healthy chips, but their reduced-fat version is a welcome alternative. It contains fewer calories, fat, and sodium than the original recipe, but keeps the same amount of carbs and seasoning.
Store-bought potato chips can put you at risk of obesity and many deadly diseases. However, if you are a potato chip lover and looking for a healthier version of this sinful food, you can make it at home by using minimal oil, less salt, and herbs and spices for seasoning.
“There really is not a tremendous difference nutritionally between standard potato chips and tortilla chips,” she explains. “Generally speaking, a one ounce serving contains about 130-150 calories, 15 grams of carbohydrates, 1-2 grams of fiber, and 6-10 grams of fat.
Because chips are sliced so thin and fried so hot, they're even heavier in acrylamide than French fries (which, sadly, 7 out of 9 experts warn against).
Dietary fibre falls short at 3g. no tick there. Sodium is 1000mg in the salt and vinegar and 486 mg per 100g in the chicken flavoured, so the chip remains only 1 out of 3. One step better than Twisties and Bacon Rings but still in the category of 'junk food'.
Tinned fish such as tuna or salmon makes a healthy snack whether on its own or with wholegrain crackers. Choose fish in spring water with no added salt. A slice of fruit toast can be a healthy sweet snack that contains fibre. Enjoy it alone or with ricotta or low fat cream cheese.
Sweet Potato Chips
They have the same appeal as standard chips (crunchy, a little salty) but they have an added sweetness and they're even better for you. Sweet potato chips contain fiber and antioxidants and they're high in carotene so they can support the immune system and benefit healthy vision.

A bowl of 100grams of potato chips contains as good as 536 calories. No wonder, these chips and fries are delicious, but at the same time the high calorie content as well as the addition of excessive salt and oil can silently spoil your weight loss plans.
Best Overall: Cape Cod Original
While some other chips had excessive amounts of salt and oil that overwhelmed the potato flavor (we're looking at you, Lay's), Cape Cod is just salty and fried enough. “It's a little greasy, but I like it," said one of our tasters.
Pringles® potato crisps are made mostly from potatoes, starches, flours, salt and seasonings.
