The History of the Potato Chip
Potato chips are thin pieces of potato which are fried or baked until crunchy, but how were they invented? It all began with a potato. Then that potato became a french fry
and that french fry was served at the restaurant Moon's Lake House in the state of New York and in the town of Saratoga Springs. The fries at Moon’s Lake House were very popular at the time. A chef by the name of George Speck was serving fries when he got a complaint. The customer complained that the fries were too thick and chewy. As a result, George made a new batch of thinner fries, yet the customer was still unsatisfied and continued to complain. George became annoyed by these complaints and made the fries so thin the customer couldn't even eat them with a fork, but to his surprise the customer loved it. That's how chips were invented. __________________________________________________________________________________
