In 1853 American Indian George Crum worked at a Resteraunt in new york . One day a customer came who rejected the order of French Fried Potatoes as " too thick and soggy". Crum got fed up and fried and cut a batch that was too crispy and thin to pick up with a fork. This backfired. The customer liked them and soon they were requested and added to the menu. The chips were called Saratoga chips. That is how potato chips were invented 😃yumm!
