A method of making reduced oil content food chip products, such as potato chips and corn chips, includes circulating liquid carbon dioxide, over the food chip products to extract oil. Reduction of oil content to less than 50% of its initial value, including reductions to 25%, may be achieved while retaining flavor and texture comparable to conventional deep fried chips having an oil content of 30% to 40%. The oil which is recovered from the liquid carbon dioxide used for extraction has an appearance and quality which are substantially the same as virgin frying oil and may be reused to deep fry chips.
