# 25 Who invented the potato chip?

**Crispy Delight: The Invention of the Potato Chip**
> Eighty years before businessman Herman Lay founded the Lays Company, known today for 
> its potato chips, an incident took place at a resort in Saratoga Springs, New York. A customer 
> complained that the resort’s chef’s French fries were too thick. So, George Crum, the chef, 
> sliced the potatoes paper-thin and deep-fried them until crispy. The result was a revolutionary 
> creation – the first potato chip. At first, it was a regional specialty, but as mass production 
> techniques came in, potato chips became popular everywhere. It was William Tappenden who 
> began producing potato chips commercially. He was using a mechanical slicer invented by Mae 
> Gripp and her husband William. The Gripps’ invention really helped the production of potato 
> chips. Today, millions of bags of potato chips are produced in factories.
