    Most of those cuts I've never even seen before, I think we might be a bit boring with our variations of fries in Norway from what I've seen, though I've not really been to any super fancy restaurants, but our fast food places generally just serve the same cut McDonalds got.
    Though the wedges are popular sold in bags ready to fry, translated from Norwegian they're called "potato boats" here. :P
    Also, I've always loved the French names, they've affected Norwegian a bit too, as fries here are often called "pommes frites" which is a hilarious name if ya look at it.
    To those who don't know random French words, in French a potato is called "pomme de terre" and to put that into context... the French word for apple is "pomme" thus the French potato is "apple of the earth" or earth apple.
    Which means... pommes frites translates to fried apple. :P
    So the Pomme Souffle basically means puffed up apple.
    And the way we use the French word in Norwegian also reflects on dialects here, as some areas of Norway will call potatoes "jordepler" which translates to earth apples, just like the French.
    (though pommes frites does get shortened in Norwegian in conversation, to basically "pomfri")
    And this concludes my random ADHD tangent for today.
    Edit:
    I just remembered, I think one of the options for fries we get here in Norway, didn't show up on this list, pommes noisettes, they're little potato balls.

    My abuelita used to make us Cottage Fries (minus the ridges). She called them ‘Papas Medallón’ or Medallion Potatoes because they resembled medallions. I don’t believe that’s an official name.

    You missed "Slap Chips", a monument of Cape Town, South Africa, that you can get at any reputable fishery in Cape Town. They're fat and long cuts and double fried so that their extremities are a bit crispy, but the inside is mushy hot potato that is sometimes bursting out. They were traditionally served in a news-paper parcel, but nowadays they're still served en masse wrapped in a paper parcel, and you get a huge amount for what you pay. The best way to have them is with an overly generous amount of salt and white vinegar, or with curried-salt spice or both.

      This is the correct opinion. No need to overcomplicate with crinkle cut or waffle. I want them thin and crispy by the handful. They’re also the perfect vehicle for seasonings and sauces.

    My general theory on french fries is that the first kind you mentioned "batonnet" is best. And there's 2 types of places you can go where it's best served. 1st is basically McDonalds or whatever hamburger place in your area that is busiest and never lets the grease cool off. 2nd best is a very fancy french Steak House where they take absurd care on each batch and whip out the old methods. The best Steak-Frites I've ever had was at a very expensive place called Galatoire's in New Orleans. The fries were incredible, but the whole restaurant took pride in all of their potato dishes, they have "potatoes 7 ways" and I had all of them

  • @marisad292
    @marisad292 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My favorite kind of fry is a seasoned curly fry, but nice, beefy steak fries served pizza- or disco-style are a close second. (But seriously, I won’t turn down any variation of fry put in front of me.)

  • @danielarnold2254

    A restaurant near me makes "steak fries" but they're closer to a potato wedge that has been cut much thinner. Kinda like a cross between wedges and potato skins.
