Potato chips invented 150 years ago in Saratoga Springs, New York, were thinly sliced by a chef. Today, they are consumed globally, with factories using the Best Potato Chip Maker producing thousands of chips per hour. The process below explains how they are made.

  • Farmers cultivate special chipping potatoes with a long shape for easy cutting. Because they are high in starch and low in sugar, these potatoes stay fluffy on the inside and turn light brown when fried on the outside.
  • The potatoes are sold to the potato chip manufacturers after they have been picked. The potatoes are kept in temperature-controlled environments; otherwise, their starch converts to sugar and ruins the potato. Potatoes can be stored in this manner for approximately 4 months.
  • Potatoes are washed, sorted by size, and transported on a belt to a slicing machine, which uses a razor-sharp blade to slice them quickly, and a serrated blade is used to cut ripple potato chips.
  • The potato slices are washed to remove the starch that seeps onto the potato's edge after it is cut.
  • Potato chips are cooked in vegetable oil at 190 oC, causing steam to steam and oil to replace water, resulting in crisp chips. Inspectors check the color when starch browns before removing it from the vat.
  • Potato chips are salted, flavored, and packed into large containers. They are then delivered to warehouses across the country, where stores place orders to receive them.

How Is Fruit Jelly Made?

You probably see Jelly Belly Bags in markets, but wonder how they are made? Fruit jelly is a spreadable, firm jelly made by extracting juice from fruit and thickening it with sugar and pectin. It is commonly used with seeds or skins from whole fruits like grapes, cranberries, and raspberries. Below are the tips for making fruit jelly: 

  • For the best flavor and results, use firm, ripe fruit. Purchase new jar lids to ensure a tight seal.
  • Simmer jars and lids in boiling water for at least 10 minutes to sterilize. Before adding the final product to plastic containers and lids for freezer jelly, thoroughly rinse and dry them with boiling water.
  • To ensure that you include the correct amount of sugar, use measuring fruit jelly cups. If you reduce the sugar or use a sugar substitute, your jelly may not be set properly. 

To summarize 

Potato chips and fruit jelly are simple snack foods with unique benefits and different functions in the culinary world and in our daily lives. Fruit jelly preserves seasonal fruit flavors and offers versatility in the kitchen, while potato chips provide convenience and a wide range of flavors, both playing significant roles in snacking and culinary traditions.
