Oh i love very much popatoes but i like too potato crisp that was the invention of George Crum,in 1853.He worked as a chef at a popular resort in the USA.One day a customer decided that he didn't like the thik of his fried potatoes,and sent them back to the kitchen.Crum got angry and, hoping to annoy the man,he made a third batch which were much thiners and could not be eaten with a fork.To his amaze the man loved them-and so potato crisps were invented.Since then,their popularity has increased dramaturgly,and they are eaten all over the world.But George Crum was away at the time that his invention would cause great confusion in the future between the Americans(who call them chips)and the British(who call them crisps).so what you say about this?

Hello mrddln!(",)
I love potatoes! I always make potato fries out of it. I also love mashed potato and potato salad.
I think they said that its common because potatoes are an important food source. They are the most widely cultivated vegetable in the world. An average-sized potato weighing between 6 and 8 ounces contains less than 100 calories. Potatoes consist of about 80 percent water, 20 percent solid matter, and have a high nutritional value. Starch makes up about 85 percent of this solid mass and the rest is protein. Potatoes also provide vitamins including niacin, riboflavin, thiamin, and vitamin C. They also contain minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and sulfur.
Great day!(",)

I have always liked potatoes. They are the best staple food around. Unfortunately I have always liked them too much and they were partly responsible for my weight ballooning up and out of control. Oh well, it is under control now, so all is good.
cheers,
