chips/fries

French fries, or simply fries (North American English), chips (British and Commonwealth English), finger chips (Indian English) or french-fried potatoes, are batonnet or allumette-cut deep-fried potatoes.
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. One very common fast food dish is fish and chips.

    Vegetable Fries

    I have made home made french fries for years and they are always delicious. However, I would also like to try frying some other vegetables as well in the deep fryer, such as carrots, cucumbers and butternut squash. I'd like to cut them in stick form like one normally does for making homemade...

    Homemade potato chips

    Every once in awhile I will pull out our big deep fryer; usually for "special occasions" such as Superbowl Sunday when we allow ourselves to eat lousy-for-us food and drink beer while we watch the football game. I did so this weekend and made some chicken wings and homemade chips. We received a...

    What do you dip your french fries in?

    Do you have a favorite thing you like to dip your french fries in? For me, it's either plain ketchup, BBQ sauce, sweet and sour sauce or sweet chili. Sometimes I'll mix ketchup and mustard together too. What about you?
