                                             How was potato chips invented? 

Many of you don't know that the potato chips we eat today happened due to a lots of unknowing cuts like this🗡🗡🗡. So today let me tell you about the invention of our favourite potato chips.

So the story of this amazing invention was super crunchy and munchie. There was once a chef named George Crum who worked in a resort called Saratoga Springs New York. He was a pretty good chef. It was one of those usual days for chef Crum in his kitchen making French fries.🍟(I will tell about French fries later.) 

Chef Crum was making French fries for one customer but when the fries reached the customer's table and he ate it it did not please him. He said that the fries were too thick. Chef Crum took those fries cut them thinner and served them again.

                                       

But the customer did not like it again. This made Crum angry he cut the fries paper-thin and let them fry in oil till they turned crisp and brown and added lots and lots of salt to teach the customer a lesson. But when he served that to the customer to Crum's surprise the customer loved it. 

This gave birth to the potato chips. They were known as the Saratoga chips. Soon people started making and selling potato chips everywhere.

                                       How was French fries invented?

Even though they are called French fries they are not French. According to some of the stories the invention of French fries goes back to the villages of Belgium. Where people used to fry small fishes they had got fishing. 

But during the winters the rivers would freeze making it impossible to fish. So they turned to the potatoes they would slice and fry potatoes just like how they fried fish and that's how french fries were invented.

                                         FUN FACTS      

Did you know a packet of potato chips has more more air than the chips because it's filled with nitrogen that keeps it preserved and fresh for a long time.

A Californian woman named Laura Scudder was known as the potato chips queen because she was the first one to come up with the idea of potato chips packet.
