The Accidental Invention of the Best Snack Food Ever

In 1853, George Crum was a chef at the Moon’s Lake House in Saratoga Springs, Ny. One day, a customer ordered fried potatoes. Upon being served, the customer scoffed and sent them back several times because of their soggy texture. But Chef Crum lost it. He fired back, cutting the potatoes paper-thin and frying them up. Back then eating with your hands was a major faux pas. But Crum’s plan backfired and the customer loved them. Soon thereafter, thin-sliced fried potato “chips” took the world by storm.

Crum may have Popularized Potato Chips, but he didn’t invent them. Recipes for frying potato slices were published in several cookbooks in the 19th century. In 1832, a recipe for fried potato "shavings" was included in a United States cookbook derived from an earlier English collection. William Kitchiner's The Cook's Oracle (1817) also included techniques for such a dish. Similarly, N. K. M. Lee's cookbook, The Cook's Own Book (1832), has a recipe that is very similar to Kitchiner's. The New York Tribune ran a feature article on "Crum's: The Famous Eating House on Saratoga Lake" in December 1891, but mentioned nothing about potato chips. Neither did Crum's commissioned biography, published in 1893, nor did one 1914 obituary in a local paper.

@Todd Foret We don't "diss" anyone for the name difference. We were making "chips" long before your "French Fries" were ever discovered.

@RM-kc1tj 4 года назад

The dominant language at the time American soldiers came to Belgium to eat the fries was french, so Americans named them french fries.

Nah, the Irish invented them- if you look in old Irish cook books pre potato famine, one of the recipes was thin sliced potatos fried in oil. E.g. crisps

@kenonifty 6 лет назад

Nah the Irish only invented green - envy green of the English.

Nah lad, we didn't invent crisps but what we did invent is flavoured crisps, specifically cheese and onion from the best, Tayto

@docmach8794 9 месяцев назад

Nope. The potato chip recipe can be found in William Kitchener M.D.s (1775-1827) book; "The cooks oracle and housekeeping manual" for "Potatoes fried in slices or shavings" (No. 104.) He was dead a full 30 years before the "accident" took place.

@jayyyzeee6409 7 лет назад

Indeed. When eating potatoes served in the French manner, one does not use one's fork to stab erratically, but rather slide gently under each chip in a smooth and delicate motion.
