Answer 4

It was believed that the original potato chip recipe was created by Native American/African American chef George Crum, at Moon's Lake House near Saratoga Springs, New York, on August 24, 1853. He was fed up with a customer (the popular myth wrongly identifies him as Cornelius Vanderbilt) who continued to send his fried potatoes back, claiming that they were too thick and soggy. Crum decided to slice the potatoes so thin that they couldn't be eaten with a fork, nor fried normally in a pan, so he decided to stir-fry the potato slices. Against Crum's expectation, the guest was ecstatic about the new chips. They became a regular item on the lodge's menu under the name "Saratoga Chips." They soon became popular throughout New York and New England. This story was first popularized by The Official French Fries Pages; it has since been recanted and corrected on that site's History of French Fries page. Since potatoes are 80% water it takes approximately 4 pounds of potatoes to make one pound of potato chips.

One version of this story credits Dr. Kellogg (the brother of the Dr. Kellogg who founded the company which bears the family name) as the customer who wanted them thinner.

An earlier reference to what are now known as potato chips as Alexis Soyer's recipe in "Shilling Cookery for People" (1845). Here raw potatoes, "almost shavings" are fried. Earlier still, Mary Randolph's book "The Virginia House-wife" (1824) has a part titled "To fry Sliced Potatoes" here raw potatoes are cut into slices or thin shavings and fried "till they are crisp."

Before the airtight sealed bag was developed, chips were stored in barrels or tins which allowed them to go stale and damp. Then Laura Scudder invented the potato chip bag by ironing together two pieces of waxed paper, thereby creating an airtight seal and keeping the chips fresh until opened. In 1934 Akron, Ohio, potato chip maker K.T. Salem was the first to distribute chips in glassine waxed paper bags. Today, chips are packaged in plastic bags, with nitrogen gas blown in prior to sealing in order to lengthen shelf life and provide protection against crushing.

The owners of the restaurant Schweizerhaus in Vienna's largest permanent amusement park Wurstelprater claim it's their site where what they call Rohscheiben (raw slices) was invented. Whether it's an exaggeration or the story itself was the invention - what they do prove is that fresh and deep-fryer-hot potato slices have a special taste.

Answer 5

I know this one.  OK this french guy was eating out and wanted sliced potatoes, (a long time long time ago)   he told the chef this who thought it was totally crazy and an insult.  well he gave the guy sliced potatoes and this jerk kept sending them back saying he wanted them thinner, finally the chef was so mad he decided to cut them paper thin to p**s him off and the guy ended up loving them, it became a huge fad.  I know that part but I don't know his name, but the story is true!

Answer 6

It was invented in 1853 by George Crum.

Crum was a Native American/African American chef at the Moon Lake Lodge resort in Saratoga Springs, New York, USA.

French fries were popular at the restaurant and one day a diner complained that the fries were too thick. Although Crum made a thinner batch, the customer was sill unsatisfied. Crum finally made fries that were too thin to eat with a fork, hoping to annoy the extremely fussy customer. The customer, surprisingly enough, was happy - and potato chips were invented!

Thank you! Interesting question!
