Jabba 18389 Report post Posted December 1, 2014 I like the crinkle cut. Baked until lightly toasted. A dash of vinegar & salt or maybe some hot sauce. Ketchup on the side - ideally served in a small, condiment size bowl. Enjoy with a fork. If you're a Vampire, don't use the silverware. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meg O'Ryan 266444 Report post Posted December 2, 2014 Any way, all ways, any topping or condiment. Fries (well a potato in any form) are a gift from the gods. The perfect vessel for yummy flavors! 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted December 2, 2014 Well the secret to fries JMO, don't cook them in the same oil that other foods are cooked in If the chip truck, or restaurant also has onion rings and both the chips and onion rings are cooked in the same oil, fries aren't good...again JMO As for how I like to eat my fries...when I have them First with salt and vinegar Second, which I picked up in Germany, with mayonnaise And I have also dipped fries in Renee's Bleu Cheese dressing (I like bleu cheese dressing, well bleu cheese) I absolutely detest ketchup...yuk RG 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted December 3, 2014 Well the secret to fries JMO, don't cook them in the same oil that other foods are cooked in They need to be fried in beef fat. Unfortunately you almost never get that these days; it makes them non-vegetarian and even more unhealthy than they'd otherwise be. But when you get it, it's soooo gooooood..... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest **cely***r***ne Report post Posted December 3, 2014 Yum! I love fries. At the moment I am really loving the potato, (sweet or white,) cut in half, sliced across halfway through along the length of the potato and oiled with olive oil and garlic. Chuck it in the oven and crisp it, season with salt and pepper, top with chicken, green onions, tomatoes and sour cream, sprinkle with cheese. Oh man, just talking about it makes me drool and want one! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boomer 33202 Report post Posted December 3, 2014 I visit the chip truck periodically for fries or poutine, but not all trucks are created equal and it takes a bit of sleuthing to find the good ones. If their fat isn't hot enough or they don't use the right type of potato then it can be disappointing. Frozen ones just don't cut the mustard. They have to have a bit of crispiness on the outside and have the right fluffy texture on the inside. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have to have a bit of crispiness on the outside and have the right fluffy texture on the inside. Yer right! You do have to scout around for quality chips from the truck. I occasionally get chips from the truck parked at the local Crappy Tire. Despite all the wishing for great taste, they are consistently the greasiest mass of undescribable potato somethings stacked into a cardboard container within a brown paper bag. The bag is useful 'cuz it soaks up the grease. If you ask for gravy or poutine...well - the gravy is brown. That's all I can say. Lord knows what can it came from. I'm interested about what Phaedrus had to say about using beef tallow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
