Yesterday, I found my new favorite potato chips - Heartland's nude (no salt) and nearly nude (209mg/100g). Prior to this Proper Crisps had the lowest amount salt (300mg). I still like Proper's Big Cut chips though, hopefully they bring out a low-salt variant as well.

Do you suffer from a salt induced high blood pressure, or is it simply the taste?

No blood pressure issues here, just trying to cut down on my salt intake. Also, I absolutely love potato chips , so I'm always on the lookout for healthier chips (and food in general).

My next goal is to find chips which are cut with their skins intact, and baked (not fried). Maybe I should write a letter to Proper and Heartland...

Glad you’ve got no blood pressure issues. I do have BP issues, so am aware how sodium can, and does, raise it for some people.

It's fairly easy to bake your own potato chips. You just need a mandolin style slicer for appropriate thinness
