The story goes that once there was a Ladhakhi chief named Gyafo Kissar.Himself a man of superhuman strength, he also owned a magnificent horse. Riding this horse, Chief Gyafo would cover the distance between Ladhakh and Kulu in a single day. But one day, being in a great hurry, he wished to shorten the distance. One mighty lash with his whip and the mountains parted to make what we know as the Rohtang Pass.
So, Mr. Crum cut the potatoes a little thinner and fried them. The guest did not like those either. That made Mr. Crum angry, so he thought he would just show that guy. He sliced the potatoes paper - thin and fried them, thinking that would hush the complaining diner. However, his plan backfired on him! The diner loved the crispy, thin potatoes! Other diners tried them and also liked them. So, Mr. Crum's potato chips were added to the menu. They were called Saratoga Chips. Eventually, Mr. Crum opened his own restaurant to sell his famous chips. Now potato chips are packaged and sold in grocery stores worldwide!
