Chips is not only the most popular but also the most ancient form of snacks. Their commercial production began in 1850 in the American town of Saratoga, in upstate new York. In 1913, the crispy potatoes were produced in the UK called crisps (crisps), and even half a century later – in the Soviet Union. The current chips are distinguished primarily by the nature of the feedstock: “natural crispy potatoes” (for its production using raw potatoes) and “air” chips (made from various types of flour, including corn, with the addition of starch).
