How Do You Like Your Fries?

I've eaten at a lot of fast food joints and greasy spoons and in that time I've noticed that there are lots of different ways of making fries. There's a particular way I like my fries, but it wasn't until receiently that I really thought about which elements make a good french fry. (for me at least) 1. It need to have had the potato skin taken off. (I don't like potato skins in any form) 2. Needs to be the right colour. I like them to light golden in colour, I don't know if its because of the oil they fry it in or the kind of potatos, but the deeper a shade of brown the fry is the worse it tastes. 3. Thickly cut. Thin fries are okay but the best fries are thick cut. 4. The fries should have the right about of grease remaining. I find that if there is still an oily sheen on the fries then there is still too much grease. What about you guys? How do you like your fries?

I normally prefer steak cut or wedges, but if I am in a diner then I get them with mozzarella and gravy.

Natural Belgian fries....the best...still want more...with some melted cheese from down there...

Just kidding, mine's are: crunchy, but soft inside. Mayo, cheese are a must for me. No ketchup or Spicys, lastly ate it together with everyone!

I like them crunchy, but soft inside. Along with the right portion of salt. Fries with potato skin are welcome, I actually like them.
Whether I add them ketchup, hot sauce or eat them as they are depends of my mood, but I enjoy all three of them.

There this hot sauce you can only get in the central coastal areas of California called 'pepper plant'. Made in Gilroy with fuck ton of garlic. Great on fries and anything.

I'll eat my fries in any way, as long as it doesn't have mayo. *shudders*

Apparently, fries are big in Belgium. So I got to try many fries combinations this past week.

Fries originated in Belgium so it would probably be common to see them there.

Wellll, [size=10]I didn't know that at the time. =-=[/h]

Cut em medium thick, skin on, let em soak for 20 minutes to get the starch of, cook em in peanut oil for a minute and a half, take em out, let em sit for a least 15 minutes, to probably an hour, cook em again for around 2 minutes. You'll get a soft fry with somewhat baked potato like insides that'll melt in your mouth. Season with a bit of salt. Best fries I've ever had.

I cannot unsee that which is godly and memorable. ;~; I miss living in upstate New York.

UGH, on the topic of greasy buckets of fries, I usually like my fries thick, pre-blanched in water, cooked to a well-done dark brown crisp, tossed with a paprika-sesame-seed salt, and served with tzatziki on the side. Of course, I can't get it custom like that unless I make them myself, so I have to get them just well-done when I'm out
