The first potato chips

The first potato chips were served up in the summer of 1853 in Saratoga Springs, New York. The Moon Lake Lodge's chef, George Crum, served up a thin and salty variation of traditional French fries to a finicky customer. The customer was very pleased. In the 1920s, Herman Lay introduced potato chips to the masses.
