Gourmet potatoes, also known as potato and potato, are not only popular dishes in the world, especially in the west, but also mashed potatoes and chips made from them are delicious foods that everyone likes to eat. However, do you know that it is not easy for potatoes to gain people's favor? More than 1 years ago, potatoes were still neglected and belittled by people! Potato originated in South America, and it was not until the 16th century that the Spanish brought it to Europe. Although Europeans know that potatoes are food, they don't like to put them on the table. They said: "The ear of wheat is a noble food, because it always reaches out to the sky and receives the caress of the sun;" And potatoes, whose fruits have been hidden underground and never seen the light of day, are not noble at all. Maybe, it is also involved with the devil who lives underground! "

Because of this concept, cooked potatoes didn't go to the table of rich Europeans. But because potatoes are easy to grow, easy to survive and have high yield, they soon become the most common food for the poor in Europe. Although, rich people say, "potatoes are a harmful substance, which can spread diseases and should not be eaten." However, they also believe that potatoes can indeed be used as a cheap food for soldiers in the army and ordinary people during the famine.

around 185, a new way of eating potatoes appeared in the United States: frying. One day, a fastidious customer insisted that the potatoes fried by chef Cramer were not ripe and asked to return his share.

Cramer was very angry. He deliberately cut the potato into very thin slices, fried it to brown, and then served it to the customer, saying, "This fried potato must be very ripe."

unexpectedly, the customer took a bite and found that the potato chips were crisp and delicious, so he ate up a big plate at once. Cramer was inspired by this incident and vigorously promoted thin and crisp potato chips. Gradually, more and more people like to eat potato chips, and the status of potatoes has been improved.

Later, scientists found in their research that potatoes are not only rich in vitamins, but also can heal wounds, induce diuresis and prevent neuralgia and arthritis. The scientist's point of view clearly affirmed the value of potatoes, making them leap from being left out in the cold to being delicious on the plate.
