French fries are batonnet- or julienne-cut potatoes that are deep-fried until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Types and Regional Names • French Fries / Chips: In the United States and Canada, they are called french fries (or fries). In Great Britain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, thicker cuts are commonly known as chips. • Shoestring Fries: Very thin-cut, fast-cooking potato strips. • Steak Fries: Thick-cut potato wedges or batons. • Curly Fries: Spiral-shaped, seasoned potato variants. • Crisps / Potato Chips: In North America, "chips" refer to thin, crisp-fried potato slices, which are called crisps in the UK and Ireland. Popular Store-Brand Frozen Fries • Signature Select Extra Crispy Restaurant Style Seasoned Fries: Available at Albertsons-Safeway stores, rated as a top store-brand frozen choice for around $5 per two-pound bag. • Trader Joe's Frozen Fries: Noted for solid texture and flavor performance in taste tests. • Kirkland Signature Frozen Fries: Offered by Costco as a reliable freezer staple. Tips for Making Crispy Fries at Home • Potato Choice: Use high-starch, low-moisture Russet potatoes for a fluffy interior and crisp exterior. • Soaking and Parboiling: Soaking cut batons in cold water or parboiling with a splash of vinegar removes excess sugars and helps set a crisp crust. • Double Frying: Fry first at a lower temperature (around 300°F–350°F) to cook through, then finish with a second fry at a higher temperature (375°F–400°F) for maximum crunch.
