Cookbook: French fries

Media: French fries

French fries are served hot, either soft or

crispy, and are generally eaten as part of lunch
or dinner or by themselves as a snack, and
they commonly appear on the menus of diners,
fast food restaurants, pubs, and bars. They are
usually salted and, depending on the country,
may be served with ketchup, vinegar,
mayonnaise, tomato sauce, or other local
specialties. Fries can be topped more heavily,
as in the dishes of poutine or chili cheese fries.
Chips can be made from kumara or other
sweet potatoes instead of potatoes. A baked
variant, oven chips, uses less oil or no oil.[3]
One very common fast food dish is fish and
chips.
