Today is National French Fry Day, so I wanted to share my top 5 French fries (be sure to vote for your favorites down below). I love potatoes in every form. When it comes to dining out, my side item is almost always going to be some type of potato.
Potatoes are incredibly versatile. You can enjoy them mashed, baked, or fried. When it comes to French fries, you’ve got a variety of cuts: shoestring, waffle, crinkle, steak, and curly. And you can’t forget about toppings! The most important thing for me? Salt. I know it’s not the healthiest, but I don’t enjoy my potatoes as much without a decent amount of salt. Then you’ve got cheese, which I’ll never turn down! There are also chili cheese fries and vinegar fries, and some people enjoy dipping their fries in a Frosty at Wendy’s.
So when it comes to the best French fries… well, that’s always going to be a debate! Everyone has a preference. Some people like their fries more on the crispy side, whereas I like mine on the soft side. I also know some people who hate when fries are cut with the skin on. But it doesn’t matter to me! I’m the type that will eat the entire baked potato – skin and all. The only thing I don’t like when it comes to fries are the ones that have black spots in them. You know, the ones where the potato had a bad spot in it? Those are for sure going in the trash!
Ketchup? Mayo? Ranch? No, thank you! I don’t dip my fries in anything… usually. But I have been known to dip them in a good hot sauce. Or order a side of cheese sauce to dip them in… YUM!
At most fast-food places, fries are the most common side item. So I started thinking about my top 5 French fries. It’s a tough decision for me because I just really love fries. But I tried to narrow down my selection to just 5. And to be honest, putting these in order is pretty tough too! But here we go… here are my top 5 French fries!
