The correct answer is George Crum.
The potato chip was invented in 1853 by George Crum. Crum was a Native American/African American chef at the Moon Lake Lodge resort in Saratoga Springs, New York, USA.
French fries were popular at the restaurant and one day a diner complained that the fries were too thick. Although Crum made a thinner batch, the customer was still unsatisfied. Crum finally made fries that were too thin to eat with a fork, hoping to annoy the extremely fussy customer. The customer, surprisingly enough, was happy - and potato chips were invented!
Crum's chips were originally called Saratoga Chips and potato crunches. They were soon packaged and sold in New England - Crum later opened his own restaurant. William Tappendon manufactured and marketed the chips in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1895.

The correct answer is Herman Lay.
For several decades after their creation, potato chips were largely a dinner dish in Northern America. In the 1930s, Herman Lay, a travelling salesman in the south, helped popularise the food from Atlanta to Tennessee.
Lay peddled potato chips to southern grocers out of the trunk of his car, building a business and a name that would become synonymous with the thin, salty snack.
Lay's potato chips became the first successfully marketed national brand. In 1961, Herman Lay merged his company with Frito, the Dallas-based producer of such snack foods as Fritos Corn Chips. Thus was born Frito-Lay.
