What's the difference between potato sticks and potato chips?
Potato sticks are made from potato that's formed into thin, elongated strands and cooked to deliver a signature c-r-r-r-runch. Potato chips are typically sliced from whole potatoes into flat pieces, giving a different texture and mouthfeel.
