Crum, a chef and restaurateur, is said to have unintentionally created the potato chip during the summer of 1853. They were made in response to a customer who sent back their fried potatoes after complaining they were too thick. The crisps were an instant hit, and though Crum never patented the creations, chips are arguably now one of the world\u2019s favorite snacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

In 1853, potato chips were invented by chef George Crum at the Moon Lake Lodge in Saratoga Springs, New York, according to legend. The story says he created them by slicing potatoes as thin as possible and frying them to a crisp after a customer complained about the thicker, soggy french fries. These first chips were called “Saratoga Chips” and became a popular item.<\/p>\n

These first chips were originally named “Saratoga Chips” after the location where they were created.<\/p>\n
