- How Do They Make Potato Chips? is one of a series of short and snappy videos that reveal the mysteries behind how everyday things happen. Each of these fascinating little videos is without words. Ideal for teachers, How Do They... ? works across the curriculum. And the videos answer questions kids often ask! Almost every child loves to eat potato chips. And they'll love to learn how they're made. (Bet you can't watch this video just once!)
Directed by Don White - 1997
I like at the end where the line from the main machine is split so the same chips can be labeled as "name brand" and "generic" from the same exact processing line. Brilliant! Save some money and by generic.
Anyone else just eating chips then randomly thought about how they are made then went straight to TH-cam🤣🙋🏻♀️
Wait that's literally what I just did
Ha yup
Omggg meee
just what i'm doing hahaha
Exactly in thaat order !!!
Who's watching this while eating potato chips.

Lmao no shit. You just got me lmao
Ehh well i had search this up for a project lol
Got me lmfso
Literally spot on lmao
Its 1:49am and I’m munching out on ripple chips while burnt out lmao
2:26 Nervous chips! 🤣
I have worked for Frito Lay for the last 25 years, this is how we make potato chips even though this video was filmed at a private label company. For use we do sanitation on the machines every week. The chips we make are not boiled in water first, just washed, cut, fried, and seasoned. Good short film thanks for sharing....
And they either use sunflower or canola oil!
Well done. Right to the point without annoying music and wasteful fluff
I was eating, Smith's chips then decided to search up this vid 😂😂
Same here😂
Me i ate vcut potato chips and decided to search this lol
Legit me right now, whilst stuffing my face with BBQ Smith Chips 😂
Omg really 😂 so funny I almost laughed 😆
@@richanneante2070 Same here lol haha😃😃 XD
My favorite part about this video is when they showed us exactly how the potatoes are cut to produce those ridges we love so much 😂

If they showed you, they'd have to kill you ;)
I haaaate the ridged potatoes chips
@@th-ck9vl👏👏
@@th-ck9vldo you still hate them 💀
@@th-ck9vl Do you still hate them
you're gonna show me all that and not actually how you cut them??! :P
they cut them at 1:27. they use centrifugal force to cut them
@@younes86hotmail you learned this from the other video!
@@PimpofChaos yes
EXACTLY what I was going to write!!
It is there choice to show what they want. If you wanted to see them be cut whyn not cut apotatoe yourself????????
I feel bad for people who don’t have chips rn
That's why your country is infested with cancer and heart problems.
Khaleesi Romaerys your mom yeeted you out of her tushi
For some reason watching this made me hungry for potato chips but the sad thing is I don't have potato chips
moofin OwO thas sad and not hot
It is in potato chips are so yummy especially when you have dip
For factories, frying them instantly is essential. For home recipes, boiling for a few minutes with salt water before frying produce the same crunchy, crispy chips from bags.
Shut it nerd!
They wash, They peel, They cut, They cook, They even season themself. But still it needs a human to put it in a box. Marvelous human engineering
They TOOK MY JOB!
AlphaMΛTTΞR You mean the machines?
***** Yeah hehe, its a meme from south Park :D
Hahaha, they took ourr jobb!!!

I wanted a National Geographic type narrative to go along with this....
"After the potatoes are captured, they are brought to the rendering plant for processing. At this point potato families are ripped apart, the screams of the little ones echo through the room while the mother spuds weep softly. They are sent to the cleaning line where they are subjected to a scalding wash via water jets that literally skin them alive. By this time, most have accepted their fate, and the line is strangely quiet except for the never-ceasing sound of the machinery. They're systematically dumped into the slicer which makes short work of the potato's body. From the slicer, they are dumped into a vat of vegetable oil, which has been super-heated to 450°. In a flash, the slices are crisp and ready for the remainder of the process.
Strangely enough, the dead potato crisps are treated with utmost respect and gentle care as they are carefully moved down the line to the salting tray. After salting, they are put into a gentle tumbler to evenly distribute the salt. The final step is filling up their potato coffins with air and dumping a small amount of chips into each coffin before it is hermetically sealed, ready for distribution to sales outlets where those with starch-craving appetites voraciously consume what once were little spud families happily living in their underground communities.

This vid just proves that anything the National Film Board of Canada produces is remarkable and top quality.
Excellently put together. We'll done. I enjoyed this while obviously snacking on my favourite crisps.
You stole my words
Chips not crisps.
And its called french fries 🍟 not chips

Don't bother scrolling down, all comments are about selling air and eating chips while watching this vid.

Hahaha
Ty but ima still scroll
Yeah
Hio
I just imagining taking handfuls of the chips off of the conveyor belt.
I've never felt so enlightened by a yt video. But watching the creation of scrumps in real time has opened my eyes.
Finally!...
A "How it's made" video that isn't cluttered up with a bunch talk and bullshit videography - straight up demonstration clips lasting only as long as they need to, back to back of all of the steps, not just the basic stages.
Great video!

That “air” is actually nitrous oxides which helps keep the chips fresh yeah what you thought was a waste of money is actually important
@Doppelganger XYZ actually that wouldn't work. The ratio has to be kinda perfect for it to last long so more chips would mean bigger bag
Mandy Dunagan they should fill it up atleast a little bit more
its nitrous oxides and nitrogen

I'm just really happy that I wasn't the only one who wondered how they made them. Also I am eating Bluebird Salt and Vinegar potato chips as I watch this.

this is so amazing! the potatoes are literally going through a whole cycle of life, giving me so much angles of life sister
one of the most beautiful videos ive ever watched. the sound of the chips simmering in the oil was music to my ears.
That was the quieter episode of "how it's made" that i have ever seen. There wasn't even one single pun. This is god's work.
How did searching how potato chips are made come to my mind
Me too, maybe its because i want to make my own
who don lyk chypss
Thank you for the video , machine industry and automation is always fascinating to everyone .
Most times I watch videos about whatever food the video is about I’m feeling hungry for it.
I know I'm not the only one eating chips while watching this..
samee
lol me too
me too
Pringles :D
هههههههههه
Excellent video, up close and personal, now I'm hungry for potato chips!
After seeing the puny size of most of the potatoes they start with and seeing the machinery, I now understand why over half a bag is tiny or broken chips.

I ate the chips from starmall without watching this video. I didn't watch the video, I just hate the chips and I didn't like the taste.
Perfect narration - not a single pun!
Lol, right?!

Thanks for the read aloud explanation.

well done. great video. amazing editing. no cheesy commentary no silly puns. very good video. better than how it's made.
I started watching how it's made with the sound off because the copy was badly written and the narrator was so condescending. Don't even get me started on the puns:)
I like watching this while eating potato chips
did anyone think they just skipped a whole part of the video at 1:31 and went straight from 'whole potatos' to 'sliced potatos getting fried' without showing the potatos getting sliced or anything else?
It looks delicious and very healty and great for breakfast
0:20 Welcome Potato Brothers, To The World of Chips! They say its a good place to party, so LETS GO NOW!

Don’t complain about the air, it’s protecting the precious chips, just like the ones amazon uses in their packaging.
this is my favorite video on youtube
very useful information, thanks for sharing
I was eating some potato sticks and now I’m here. Great video lol!
This was a very calming video
Crucial question is : How do they cut it into fine pieces?
Exactly why I'm here and didn't find out the process
Reza Ng i love u
@@neolsviskon6409 i know. Moving on.
that's the top secret of potato chips company
I was looking for that answer
Here is the answer

You forgot the part when they pump air into those bags.
That annoying thing they make. 50% air 30% chips
+TheHue's SciTech you do know that that was a joke and no sane person would take this comment seriously, right?
WHAT IS SANE? WHAAAAAAAT? WHOOOOOO?

+Tony Stark so what the fuck is the remaining 20%?
Watching this at 4am after eating a whole bag of lays
Just eating chips, i can aready taste the new raw potatoes!
I remember watching these as my favourite video
I hope they clean the machines, and not over-reuse the oil.
A lot of potato chips😍😍😍😍
Vijaya Panja heh dhdjv

Great video - thanks!! 👍👍
1 bag
30% chips
70% air
Hahaha yeah😂😂😂😂
but weight matters not size
also its so it doesn't get crushed
MrTungtarung 2 chips 1 bag xD
MrTungtarung- if u r angry with the chips factory so there is a very good & best news for u if u are living in India
I look at the factory and it's filled with crisps.
I look at my packet.
It has barely any and is practically air.
Watching this while eating potato chips :P
really loved how you broke down the process of making potato chips, super informative! but honestly, i’m not sure if they’re worth the hype. i mean, they’re just fried potatoes at the end of the day, right? feels like there are so many healthier snack options out there that get overshadowed. what do you all think?
My favorite part is when the machine stops sealing the bags and I have to call for the operator for 15th time that shift
Today I bought a packet of air and guess what? I got some chips free!!

@@romella_karmey the quality is good with all chips
i was bored and i typed chips in to the search bar lol
probably the best one ive seen for this process.
great job, whoever you are that made this.
All those rustling noises,dont u just love it !
Nice process
I'd go mental if I work there everyday.
I was actually watching a gaming channel while eating crisps, and then all of the sudden I asked myself: "how do they make it?" (crisps, not gaming channels). And now I'm watching this!
@Osisjsu Ajjajao I was laughing because of people buying out everything from the shops I am forced to change my diet to beer and crisps, but guess what? All the crisps sold out too!!
Nice technology ! So easy process to made chips.
Eating potato chips while watching the vid.
mee too!! Im just curious how they're made so.. Im here XD
No I eat crisps :)
i'm eaten' chips while watching this vid
Brent Sixteen me too
Me too ... Salt and vinegar
How is all that shaking, and dropping, and stirring, and sorting, and bagging, not breaking them all to shit?
Because potatoes are controlled by the illuminati
Who knew that potatoes rolling around would-be entertaining
I'm fasting & yet I'm watching this. 🐸
imagine you're self eating that many chips
this is so satisfying to watch....

This makes me hungry
Deadly Venomous then pause at 1:47
How is every comment about buying air but no one talks about how dirty the stuff they use are
finally someone really noticed that.!!!
Then go get a job cleaning potato chip machines...lazy fuck!
They never clean it. The rust, grimes and dirt are what make the potato chips umami! Yum! 😂
From a potato's point of view, this is an absolutely terrifying horror film
This is what my nightmares look like
This looks like a horror movie

Sounds like one, too.
sure?

The walking potatoes
I was looking forward to seeing how they were cut but they just skipped it
Wasn't 1:36 strange moving sticks the ones who cutted them?
@@agustinbaletti no i think that just makes the chips wavy and anyhow the chips were cut before they entered the moving sticks
