Homemade chips are delicious and also convenient – you do not have to queue up, buy snacks in a store, and then rummage in search of napkins though a bag. Besides, store-bough chips are extremely unhealthy, as they are often made of potato starch and coloring. Yes, there are no actual vegetables in them, so why not make your own snacks?
