National Potato Chip Day would allow us to realize the importance of crops.
Before we learn how to celebrate the National Potato Chip Day, let’s learn about the origin of the potato chip. The potato chip began its origins with George Crum, who initially worked as a chef at Saratoga Springs’ Moon Lake Lodge in 1853, where French fried potatoes were a favorite on their menu. When customers started complaining that the fries were too thick, Crum sarcastically decided to cut the potatoes as thin as he could, fried them and sent them back to the customers. Surprisingly, they loved the thinly sliced potato and asked for more. When the potato chip became so famous, he made his own restaurant and many famous people visited his restaurant. A few years later, Laura Scudder, the first person who started the potato chip company came up with the concept of putting the chips in wax paper bags instead of putting them in glass containers or barrels. The potato chip that we know now was finally born.
Let’s learn how to celebrate National Potato Chip Day. First, snack on your favorite brand of potato chips. Next, have a potato chip party and create a variety of dips to eat during the party. Test out different brands of potato chips you know of to see which one is the best of them all. You can even try your hand at making your own potato chips by looking up some recipes online.
