French fries are a popular menu staple and can be served as both a side to a meal or an appetiser for a table to share. They're crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and delicious all around. The first record of the term in English is from an 1856 recipe book and believed to have been inspired by Belgian fried potatoes. French fries pair perfectly with a sprinkling of salt and some ketchup, though you can spruce them up and season however you choose. Try out the various delicious combinations available, such as mayonnaise, vinegar, or honey mustard sauce. Share the love for French fries using #NationalFrenchFryDay on social media.
