WHO INVENTED POTATO CHIPS
A Native American named George Crum invented potato chips in 1853. He was a chef at a restaurant
in Saratoga Springs, New York. A regular item on the menu was fried potatoes, an idea that started
in France. At that time, French fried potatoes were into thick slices. One day, a dinner guest sent his
fried potatoes back the chef because he did not like them so thick. So, Mr. Crum cut the potatoes a
little thinner and fried them. The guest did not like those either. Mr. Crum was very angry. He sliced
the potatoes paper-thin and fried them. He just want to show the guest that he was angry but the guest
loved the crispy, thin potatoes. Other dinners tried them and also like them. So, Mr. Crum’s potato
chips were added to the menu. Eventually, Mr. Crum opened his own restaurant to sell his famous
chips. Now potato chips are packaged and sold in grocery stores worldwide.
