I read this in a blog from England so the chips they are talking about are the same as french fries in America. Either way, chips or fries I thought this sounded a bit absurd.
An analyst sniffed the smells that could be detected by the human nose and recorded their type and strength.
The research, which was commissioned by the Potato Council for National Chip Week, showed chip aroma is made up of butterscotch, cocoa, onion, flowers, cheese and ironing boards.
Dr Clayton said: "Whether oven-cooked or fried, the humble chip doesn't smell of just chips - the aroma is much more complex and probably explains why chips are everyone's favourite.
"One might not expect to find butterscotch or cocoa aromas in chips, but it has to be remembered that these are one part of the overall aroma.
Never once has the smell of an ironing board made me hungry!
