How To Make Delicious Potato Chips At Home
Potatoes are second only to rice in terms of world food consumption.
Inexpensive, easy–to-store and versatile in its many preparations, the potato is probably a staple in your pantry and your garden. You are accustomed to baking them whole, frying them or tossing them sliced or diced into soups and stews and all sorts of baked dishes. Potatoes are a great source of carbohydrates, potassium and vitamin C, and potato skin is high in fiber.
However, your experience with eating potatoes in their popular “chip” form may be limited to only the store-bought varieties. It’s time to try making your own potato chips. It’s easier than you think and when you bake them in the oven with just a little oil and salt, they are a more healthy option.
The potato chip, which is near or at the top of snack food favorite lists, was invented back in 1853 right here in the U.S.A. and not as a result of a culinary experimentation but rather as a way to deal with a complaining restaurant customer.
Native American George Crum was the chef at the Moon Lake Lodge, a Saratoga Springs, New York resort in the summer of 1853. On his menu were the popular thick-cut French style potatoes (French fries) that were likely first introduced to America by Thomas Jefferson, our ambassador to France from 1785 to 1789.
