Saratoga chips

An unhappy restaurant patron continued to bring his potatoes back to the kitchen on August 24, 1853, claiming they were thick and soggy. '' Chef George Crum decided to slice the potatoes as thin as possible, frying them until crisp and adding more salt. The customer adored them, to the chef's surprise. "Saratoga Chips" became a staple on the restaurant's menu shortly after the crispy potatoes were introduced under the name of "Saratoga Chips."

Other explanations point to the potato chip point to recipes in Shilling Cookery for the People by Alexis Soyer (1845) or Mary Randolph's The Virginia House-Wife (1824).. Although many references between these dates cut potatoes and fried them in grease, it is also unknown if the potatoes were fried to a crisp.

However, by the late 1870s, menus in restaurants, hotel bars, and street carts throughout the country used the term "Saratoga Chips" on train cars, hotel restaurants, and street carts. When bakeries made the chips in larger batches, the name was turned into grocers. They were delivered by wagon to the restaurants and grocers by the barrel. By the pound, the grocers sold them to private households. Folks were told to bake the chips in a hot oven for a few minutes, and the chips would be as crisp as if fried the same day.'
