potato chips

If you're a native New Yorker, maybe you already know this. But if you're new here, these 5 NY inventions are so cool.

Legend has it, potato chips were invented in Upstate NY, when a chef got angry at a customer, and tried to purposely mess up their fries. Do you believe the tale?

Many of these foods you may have in your kitchen right now but did you know that they either originated or are based right here? How many did you know?

There aren't many things the Capital Region is known for aside from the Saratoga Race Track, politicians, and the inventor of the toilet paper roll. One of the more notible inventions is the potato chip created in Saratoga Springs. For the second year in a row, you can enjoy the Chip Festival happening this weekend.

You know how Lay's has been holding a contest for the past couple of years where people send in weird ideas for potato chip flavors, then they pick a few and actually make them. They just announced the four flavors they'll be making this year and for the first time I think I may want to actually try them all...

It might not be a nation or state holiday, but it may be a reason to take the day off. It’s national potato chip day.
