Transparent Potato Chips by Yamayoshi Co.,Lts.


Potato Chip is one of the most popular snack of all time. According to one of the most popular version, the first potato chips was created as a result of an unhappy customer at Moon Lake's House in 1853, Saratoga Springs, New York. Frustrated by a customer client's constant compliant about their potato being cut too think, chef George Gum decided to slice the potato razor thin, deep fried then seasoned with extra salt. Another version came from United Kingdom, by food writer William Kitchiner's 1822 cookbook The Cook's Orcale.


This time, Yamayoshi Co. Lts. released a D.I.Y video on "How To Make Your Own Transparent Potato Chips". If you are a potato chip lover, that is something you have to try at home. Check out the video and the receipt below.
