Eighteen promising potato varieties/clones grown on three cropping seasons were studied for effect of cropping seasons on their chipping qualities. After sorting, washing, peeling and trimming one Kg of the tubers were weighed and then sliced to 1.27 mm (1/20 inches) thickness and fried for 3.5 minutes in sunflower oil preheated to 400 F. Three crops chip yield of 18 potato varieties/clones varied from 22.5% for variety Red Lasoda to 30.l% percent for variety Atlantic. The summer crop chip yield mean was highest (27.21 %) while that of the autumn crop was the lowest (18.36 %). The mean oil content of chips made from autumn crop was the highest at 37.86%. Summer crop potatoes were found most suitable, followed by spring and autumn crop potatoes respectively, for chipping.
