Hi Tom, 7-14-21

My French Fry rule is very simple...they should snap, not bend.

Be well, stay well,

That's where the double cooking rule comes in and of course the oil needs to get cooking temp.

After living / working in Aachen, Germany (2004-2005), I always remembered that the Dutch and the Belgium's always liked their French Fries with......MAYONNAIS E!!

Pacific NW. "Fry sauce". Mayo/ketchup aka Thousand Island. Some people like their fries with honey.

Fries with beef or turkey gravy, black pepper and ketchup

I use them as a side to my Ketchup.

I had a classmate that put ketchup on everything he ate. On jello, on coleslaw, cornbread.....every thing. He'd take the stuff and put it on fruit cocktail. 🤦‍♂️

Lol GG. I was trying to get Alexa to tell me what that word was and she just couldn’t comprehend my southern ascent, so I had to spell it.
Quebec huh?

Essentially, cheese fries with brown gravy. That's the simple version.

The better version is hand cut fries. Beef gravy from scratch with spices. Cheese curds that squeek when you bite into them.

Excellent for packing on calories for the cold weather. Same as getting chicken fried steak w/biscuits and gravy or mash w/gravy.

You know it! Nothing like squeaky cheese curds, french fries, and gravy to make a tummy happy.

Best I've had are at Orlandos Mexican Cafe in Taos New Mexico. They beer batter the fries and smother them in cheese and red and green chile.

Potato wedges fried in the same grease that fries the Chicken and then dipped in brown gravy. But, haven't had them since I was in my early 30s and was burning calories as fast as I could consume them.

For years now we have been baking sweet potato fries in the oven. Then dipping in honey mustard.

Ketchup and sriracha sauce 50/50 for fries.

Vinegar and chunky salt.

I like the vinegar & salt thing too.

Vinegar and chunky salt.

I have a homemade Carolina Reaper, Poinsettia pepper vinegar that works well on fries and ham green beans and potato's.

Poutine!

Having grown up in Montreal, I heartily ( Or is that heart attackilly?) agree. One of the best poutines in Montreal is made by a real old school greasy spoon restaurant called La Roulotte in the West Island. They've tarted up the facade but it's still eighties decor inside.

Here in Ottawa they've taken the basic recipe (Fries, cheese curds and gravy) to the next level. With a large Lebanese population we have delicious shawarma places all over town. So of course: Shawarma poutine! An intoxicating but artery blocking combo. Out of respect for my ticker, I have only one a month.

A tour in the then West Germany introduced me to pommes mit mayo; 40 years later its still my favourite.

Chips and french fries are superficially similar, but are actually different beasts. Chips are fat and should be cooked in lard or beef dripping. Fries are skinny, crisp and cooked in oil. I'd not eat fries with battered haddock, nor chips with a burger.
