Tubers of four processing varieties along with one advanced hybrid and two popular Indian table varieties grown during spring season were evaluated for yield, chipping attributes and some important nutritional and antioxidant constituents immediately after harvest. Kufri Chipsona-1 produced maximum total tuber yield (294 q/ha). Processing grade tuber yield was also the highest in Kufri Chipsona-1 (137.5 q/ha) followed by Kufri Chipsona-2 (131 q/ha). All the three chipsona varieties viz., Kufri Chipsona-1, Kufri Chipsona-2 and Kufri Chipsona-3 produced higher yield of chips (>27%) with acceptable chip colour ( 16.5%), low undesirable colour ( 61 Hunter colour value of the chips made from Kufri Chipsona1, Kufri Chipsona-2, Kufri Chipsona-3 and MP/98-172. Kufri Surya, although, produced good colour quality chips, had low Frito lay solids (13.4%). Based on processable tuber yield and processing characteristics, Kufri Chipsona-1 and Kufri Chipsona-2 were identified as most suitable for chipping.
