National French Fry Day

National French Fry Day - July 13th

What could be better than potatoes fried in oil?    Whether you call them ‘French Fries’, ‘Chips’, Finger Chips, or French-Fried Potatoes, this delicious treat is loved around the world, and French Fry day celebrates them.

But don’t confuse them with American ‘Chips’, which are thinly sliced pieces of potato fried until crisp.  French Fries are the delicious result of ‘batons’ of potato cut to various thicknesses and then fried in oil.

The outside of French fries generally have a golden texture, varying from soft to crispy, and most often served with little more than a dusting of salt.

National French Fry Day is a special time of year when we all get to celebrate the humble French fry, one of the greatest foods known to man. So celebrate this centuries old treat!!  Get out your deep fryer, chop up some potatoes, and celebrate National French Fry Day by eating yourself into a starch filled stupor!    Don’t forget the ketchup!
