Today is National Potato Chip Day! Before this year,
I would not have taken notice of this special day:) but since
last June I have been working for a privately owned potato chip company.
A whole new world of the spud has opened up to me!
I have had so much fun tasting, tasting, and creating
new photo ideas of our favorite snack.
The Story Behind the Potato Chip.
An Irish chef named George Crum invented the potato chips in
Saratoga Springs in 1853. One day, an overly picky customer
kept sending his fried potatoes back to the kitchen, complaining
that they were too thick and soggy. Mr. Crum responded by slicing
the potatoes so thin that they wouldn't be able to be eaten with a fork.
The customer was so pleased with Crum's crispy creation that they
then became a regular item on the restaurant's menu!
*Thank you Dieffenbach's and One Potato Two Potato for giving
us such a delicious snack! :)
