The exact origins are debated, with both Belgium and France claiming to have invented the dish. The prevailing theory points to Belgium, where fried potatoes were common during times when rivers froze and fish (a staple food) was unavailable. American soldiers stationed in Belgium during World War I nicknamed them 'French fries' because French was the language spoken in that region of Belgium.

Salty and savory, with a satisfying crisp exterior and a fluffy interior.
The primary flavor is derived from the potato itself, enhanced by the cooking oil (typically vegetable oil, peanut oil, or beef tallow) and seasoned heavily with salt. The Maillard reaction during frying contributes significantly to the complex flavors and aromas. The texture contrast between the crisp exterior and soft interior is a key component of the overall flavor experience. Optional seasonings such as pepper, garlic powder, or paprika can further enhance the taste.

Potato Selection
Use russet potatoes or other varieties with high starch content for best results. These potatoes yield a fluffy interior and crisp exterior.
Double Frying
Double-frying is crucial for achieving optimal texture. The first fry at a lower temperature cooks the potato through, while the second fry at a higher temperature creates the crispy exterior.
Oil Temperature
Maintaining the correct oil temperature is essential. Too low, and the fries will be soggy. Too high, and they will burn before cooking through. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature accurately.
Salt immediately
Salt fries as soon as they are out of the fryer for optimal adhesion and flavor.
