March 14th celebrated America’s #1 snack, National Potato Chip Day! Potato chips are thinly sliced potatoes either baked or deep fried, and they’ve been enjoyed by millions of people since created in 1853.

Although enjoying this snack can be a treat, many potato chips are fried in unhealthy saturated fat with excess sodium and lots of unwanted calories. Check out our top picks for healthier potato chips & when you’re craving your favorite salty indulgence at home, try baking your own chips!

Happy Snacking!
