Crisps refers to a popular snack food item that is typically made from slices of potatoes or other root vegetables. These thinly cut slices are deep-fried or baked until they become crispy and crunchy in texture. Crisps are commonly seasoned with a variety of flavors to enhance their taste, such as salt, cheese, onion, barbeque, or vinegar.
The process of making crisps involves carefully slicing the potatoes or root vegetables into thin, uniform pieces. The slices are then subjected to high heat by either frying them in hot oil or baking them in an oven until they turn golden brown and crispy. This method removes the moisture from the vegetable slices, resulting in the desirable crunchy texture that defines crisps.

They are commonly found in packets or bags in supermarkets, convenience stores, and vending machines, offering a convenient and portable snack option.

However, the term "crisps" has also been used to describe similar snack products made from other root vegetables, such as parsnips or beetroot, expanding the range of flavors and textures available to consumers.
