'''''Kripik''''' or '''''keripik''''' are Indonesian chips or crisps,<ref name="auto"/> bite-size snack crackers that can be savoury or sweet. They are made from various dried fruits, tubers, vegetables, and fish that have undergone a deep frying process in hot vegetable oil.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iptek.net.id/ind/warintek/?mnu=6&ttg=6&doc=6d12|title=Kripik Pisang|publisher=IPTEKnet|language=id|access-date=28 June 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120511083819/http://www.iptek.net.id/ind/warintek/?mnu=6&ttg=6&doc=6d12|archive-date=11 May 2012}}</ref> They can be lightly seasoned with salt, or spiced with chili powder and sugar.
Together with ''krupuk'', the etymology of the term ''kripik'' is believed to be an onomatopoeia in Indonesian from the crunch sound of this crispy snack.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.kompasiana.com/gustaafkusno/onomatopoeia-dari-kuping-turun-ke-lidah_550e25eca33311b32dba7e5a|title=Onomatopoeia, Dari Kuping Turun ke Lidah oleh Gustaaf Kusno |last=Kompasiana.com|website=kompasiana.com|date=24 February 2012 |language=id|access-date=2018-01-29}}</ref>
''Kripik'' (chips) and ''krupuk'' (crackers) are an integral part of Indonesian cuisine.<ref name="Biodiversity in Indonesia-43">{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=a-LaAAAAMAAJ&q=keripik+indonesian+chips|title=An Atlas of Biodiversity in Indonesia|date=1995|publisher=State Ministry of Environment|page=43|language=en}}</ref> ''Kripik'' commonly are made from dried slices of roots and tubers. The most popular are ''kripik singkong'' (cassava crackers) and ''kripik pisang'' (Banana chips); other types of fruit, yam, or tuber crackers are also available.
==Kripik and krupuk== ''Kripik'' is closely related to ''krupuk'' since it is popularly considered a smaller-sized ''krupuk''. In Indonesia, the term ''krupuk'' refers to relatively large crackers, while ''kripik'' or ''keripik'' refers to smaller bite-size crackers, the counterpart of chips (or crisps) in Western cuisine. For example, potato chips are called ''kripik kentang'' in Indonesia. Usually, ''krupuk'' are made from a dried paste consisting of a mixture of starch and other ingredients, while ''kripik'' are usually made entirely from a thinly sliced, sun-dried, and then deep-fried product without any mixture of starch.<ref name="Biodiversity in Indonesia-43"/>
==Variants== [[File:Jackfruit chips.JPG|thumb|right|Jackfruit kripik]] Almost all types of fruits, nuts, tubers, and plant products can be made into ''kripik''. Other types of ''kripik'' can be coated with batter and deep-fried until crispy and dry. In Indonesia, the latest popular snack is extra hot and spicy ''kripik''.
