Potato chips, and other foods, are mixtures of compounds. Foods are made of a large variety of molecules composing the sugars, starches, salts, and liquids in them. The elements are there, of course, combining to make up the molecules, but foods are not simple elemental substances.

potato?

What about potato? It is a white root vegetable, that can be eaten raw, boiled, baked ( in its skin), chipped, mashed, sliced. It is a very versatile vegetable. Its biological origins are yams or sweet potatoes. However, when grown in a cooler/cold climate, they loose their sweetness. They are a very starchy vegetable, but do contain ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). They grow under the surface of the ground. When dug up, they must be kept in the dark. If exposed to light they become green , which is a very poisonous compound. Their origins are the Americas, and were brought to Europe in the 16th Century by Sir Walter Raleigh, who also brought tomatoes and tobacco to Europe.

Are pringles baked?

Pringles are not baked in the traditional sense; instead, they are made from a dough-like mixture of dehydrated potato flakes, cornstarch, and other ingredients. This mixture is shaped into uniform chips and then fried, giving them their distinctive texture and flavor. The frying process contributes to their crispy texture, unlike baked potato chips.
