They can also be layered into sandwiches to provide an unexpected textural contrast and a salty element, enhancing the overall eating experience.
How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any remaining potato chips in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature. Avoid exposing them to moisture or excessive heat, which can cause them to become stale or lose their crunch. Proper storage ensures they remain enjoyable for future snacking occasions.
