Corn Chips

A Brief History:
Dual U.S. Originations:  Isador J. Filler was a salesman: In 1932, while eating a tostada on a trip to San Antonio, Texas–Filler had an idea of making the tostada into rectangles and marketing it as a chip, and so he patented his concept. His focus remained with his patent for the Corn Dough Processing Machine. Elmer Doolin was an entrepreneur: Around the exact same time, also traveling in San Antonio and was enjoying some Fritos. The story states that he paid $100 for the recipe. Tinkering around with it and experimenting in his home, he created his version of a corn chip, a recipe of which he started to sell out of the back of his Model T Ford. He began to mass-produce under the name Frito Corn Chips. By 1945, Doolin teamed up with Herman Lay as a distributor of Fritos across the country. After Doolin’s death in the year 1959, the two companies merged into the Frito-Lay Corporation, the name to this day that spells delicious!

The Corn Chip NOT a Tortilla Chip:  Corn chips are not to be confused with a tortilla chip. Both are made from cornmeal which is baked or fried in oil, but the consistency and texture are quite different. There are different steps for the process of the corn which separate a tortilla from a corn chip: the tortilla chip has the corn soaked in lime-water which breaks down the corn hulls, thereby creating a crisper and milder chip. The corn chip has a sturdier consistency with a robust corn flavor.

Potato Chips

A Brief History:
Origination:  The Saratoga Chip was actually the original potato chip. On August 24, 1853, a dissatisfied diner repeatedly returned his thick and soggy potatoes to the kitchen. In response, Chef George Crum thinly sliced the potatoes, fried them to a crisp, and generously seasoned them with salt. Much to his amazement, the customer adored the new creation. These crispy delights quickly earned a permanent spot on the restaurant’s menu as “Saratoga Chips.”

Continued Innovation:  Different explanations suggest the origin of the potato chip can be traced back to recipes found in Shilling Cookery for the People by Alexis Soyer (1845) or Mary Randolph’s The Virginia House-Wife (1824). While both books mention slicing and frying potatoes in grease, it is still unclear whether the potatoes were fried until crispy. However, by the late 1870s, the term “Saratoga Chips” began appearing on menus in train cars, hotel restaurants, and street carts across the country. Bakeries started making the chips in larger quantities, which were then transported to restaurants and grocers in barrels. Grocers sold them to families by the pound, with instructions to bake them in a hot oven for a few minutes to achieve the same crispiness as if they were fried that same day.

The Classic Potato Chip : The Mike-sell’s Potato Chip Company, headquartered in Dayton, Ohio and established in 1910, proudly declares itself as the “oldest potato chip company in the United States.” On the other hand, Tri-Sum Potato Chips, based in New England and originally known as the Leominster Potato Chip Company since 1908, asserts its claim as America’s first potato chip manufacturer, located in Leominster, Massachusetts. During the 20th century, potato chips transcended their origins as a delicacy only found in restaurants and became widely produced for households. The introduction of flavored chips took place in the 1950s, adding a delightful twist to the classic snack. It’s remarkable to note that potato chip revenues exceed $15 billion annually worldwide!

A Modern Celebration: The United States’ potato chip consumption from 2011 to 2020, along with a forecast until 2024, is depicted in this statistical analysis. The data utilized in this study has been derived from the U.S. Census data and the Simmons National Consumer Survey (NHCS), both of which were analyzed by Statista. In 2020, it was found that approximately 284.37 million Americans consumed potato chips. Projections indicate that this number is expected to rise to 292.95 million by 2024.

Celebrated: Since the year 1930. Detroit’s top choice for potato chips, Better Made Chips selected the day of, March 14^th as bing the national day for the potato chip.
