French fries
A favorite snack for everyone, these potato pieces are fried until golden brown. They're special because they're crispy on the outside, yet soft and tender on the inside. It has just the right amount of savory and salty flavor, and is delicious eaten raw or dipped in tomato sauce, chili sauce, or mayonnaise. Simple yet addictive.
