It was in the 19th century when a young inventor named George Crum, working in a lakeside resort in Saratoga Springs, New York, was asked to make french fries for a particularly difficult customer. The customer sent the fries back several times, complaining they were too thick. In a fit of pique, Crum sliced the potatoes paper-thin and fried them until they were extra crispy. To his surprise, the customer loved them, and so potato chips were born.
