DESCRIPTION
Well, that's stinks because I don't know either. The Tater Chips are one of the most eaten chips in the United States. In the U.S. alone, we've consumed 1.5 million potato chips a year. That's 10,000 pounds of potatoes to make them.

The man who invented potato chips was George Crum, who was both African-American and Native American, and a chef employed as a chef at Moon Lake Lodge --an elegant resort in Saratoga Springs, New York. And getting complaints from a customer about thick, soggy fried potatoes, Crum wanted to teach the patron a lesson, so he sliced a new batch of potatoes as thin as he possibly could, and then fried them until they were hard and crunchy. Finally, to top them off, he added a generous heaping of salt. To Crum's surprise, the dish ended up being a hit with the patron and a new snack was born.
