How many potatoes are in a packet of crisps or chips?

It's impossible to say exactly how many potatoes are in a packet of crisps or chips! Here's why:

* Variety of sizes: Potato chip bags come in all sorts of sizes, from single-serving bags to family-sized bags.

* Potato varieties: Different types of potatoes are used for chips, and they vary in size.

* Processing: Potatoes are sliced, cooked, and often seasoned before they become chips. This process changes their weight and volume significantly.

Instead of counting potatoes, think about the process:

* A lot of potatoes are needed: It takes many potatoes to make even a small bag of chips, especially considering some of the potatoes will be discarded during the processing.

* The focus is on the finished product: The number of potatoes doesn't matter as much as the taste, texture, and quantity of the finished chips.
