Crisp, crunchy, salty, yummy, thickly and lovely, i think potato chips is an "Genius Invention" cause i lllloooooove this food soo much, anyway this chips is invented in Saratoga Springs, NY on August 24, 1853, and it's invented accidental, it begin with customer that send back his potatoes back and complaining that they were too thick and soggy (the patron sometimes identified as Cornelius Vanderbilt) resort hotel chef, George Crum decided to slice the potatoes even thinner. Contrary to Crum's expectation, the patron (sometimes identified as Cornelius Vanderbilt) loved the new chips and they soon became a regular item on the lodge's menu under the name "Saratoga Chips".
However, a recipe for fried potato "shavings" had been printed in the US in 1832, in a book explicitly derived from an even earlier English collection. “Claims that the product originated in Saratoga NY in 1853 may be looked at with appropriate skepticism.”
In the 20th century, potato chips spread beyond chef-cooked restaurant fare and began to be mass produced for home consumption. At first, potato chips were packaged in barrels or tins, which left chips at the bottom stale and crumbled. Laura Scudder,[1] an entrepreneur in Monterey Park, California started having her workers take home sheets of wax paper to iron into the form of bags, which were filled with chips at her factory the next day. This pioneering method reduced crumbling and kept the chips fresh and crisp longer. This innovation, along with the invention of cellophane, allowed potato chips to become a mass market product and made Laura Scudder a household name. Today, chips are packaged in plastic bags, with nitrogen gas blown in prior to sealing to lengthen shelf life, and provide protection against crushin.
Thanks for Mr.Crum, who has cooked this superior chips, :D
