> Is it better if I drizzled the same amount of olive oil, on a baked potato instead?

"Drizzled" might be a bit difficult to do for the amount of olive oil you'd need. For example, the USDA FNDDS database says 100g of plain potato chips has ~34g of fat and ~54g of carbs [0]. 100g of a plain baked potato (with presumably nothing added), on the other hand, has approximately no fat and ~21g of carbs [1], though to be fair 100g is probably not what you're eating; the database lists a medium baked potato as 285g and a large at 400g.

Something doesn’t add up here, oil doesn’t add any carbs, just fat. Water weight maybe in the potatoes?

Yes, there's a large difference in water weight. That database says 100g of potato chips has 1.86g of water, while 100g of baked potatoes has ~75g of water.
