French Fries...

You can buy poutine here too, but I've never had one as I'm not a fan of gravy. I eat my fries plain, sometimes salted or with seasoning salt. When I was younger and when I ate at McDonald's, I dipped them in strawberry or vanilla milkshakes.
The hot/cold combination it great! Everyone should try it,even if it sounds gross....it's sooo good!
I would like to try them with gravy, but Yosimite, can you bring me some good gravy, cuz I never have fries with anything that I would make good gravy with!
Well, hon, the next time you make a roast or fry burgers or steak (I don't use the BBQ for steaks and burgers because all those good, delicious gravy-making juices drip down onto the charcoal and burn away), you make extra and freeze it or at least get all those lovely juices out and freeze them for a quick gravy when you want it. Then when you make those lovely home-made fries (which we do pretty much every Friday), you have that lovely gravy to put on them.Originally Posted by menagerie mama

Oh me, too, I love my fries hot. I like mine with salt and can eat them all day hot with salt. I also like vinegar, mayo and spicy mustard and ocassionally ketchup. I
I like them dipped in Blue Chese with Salt and Pepper or dipped in Mayo.
I also like them with Garlic and dipped in Blue Cheese.
Salt and Vin is good also.

Yup, you do see poutine out here, but it doesn't appeal to me, because it's too much stuff on the fries. Nice fries really don't need anything other than a little salt and pepper, and maybe a little sprinkle of garlic. However, depending on mood and what else is on the plate, any of: gravy, mayo, tartar sauce, bbq sauce or ketchup. Can't quite get my head around ice cream, sorry.
I agree good fresh made fries just need a bit of salt. The steak cut fries I eat with sour cream or ranch dressing. Though I have tried and earlier TCS recommendation and mixed mayo (or imported salad cream) with catsup. (organic catsup w/o HFCS)
Ditto for me, except that even if they're bad I won't add the ketchup. French fries are one of my weaknesses. I used to LOVE Arbys home style fries - then they stopped having them! I figured my days of eating at Arby's were pretty much over, because I don't like spicy fries (like their curly fries). But the potato cakes aren't too bad.Originally Posted by zorana_dragonky
I like my french fries with salt. If the fries are not very good, I will eat them with Ketchup. Otherwise, I prefer a little salt and the taste of potatoes and grease.
I like them with salt and ketchup mostly, but sometimes I will have them with malt vinegar
Mayo is good too, but SO BAD for you.

This thread is making me reallyyy want french fries. I LOVE poutine, but you can't get it down here. I was up in Northern Vermont, like 5 minutes from the Canadian border, and they had the most amazing poutine. It was so delicious.
Other than poutine, I love my french fries with either mayo, or just some salt and pepper. And sometime BBQ sauce if I'm in the mood. I've never tried the chocolate shake idea, but so many people do it, it's making me want to try it now.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the sweet potato french fries you get at Trader Joe's! I love white fries, and the more salt and Ranch dressing, the better. But if you have an opportunity to go to a Trader Joe's, you must buy their frozen sweet potato fries. They are to die for
one of the restaurants in our area sells sweet potato fries!
Everywhere here sells poutine. I loooove poutine but I don't eat it often because its bad for you.
They have to be hot and crispy! Then I use season salt and dip them in barbecue sauce. But if fried zucchini sticks are available, I will have that with ranch dressing!
For some reason, I hate the spicy stuff that Arbys and Jack's put on theirs, just doesn't float my boat, I guess. A good, thick fry doesn't need anything, but those wee skinny ones are great with catsup, gravy, horsey sauce, ranch dressing, tartar sauce (don't laugh, but the next time you get a fish sandwich, use a fry or so to remove part of the tartar sauce). Great warmed up with melted american sliced cheese!
I usually just have them plain with some salt. Occasionally I will put some malt vinegar on them, but not often. And on the rare occasion I will dip them in ketchup. But plain with salt is preferred.
