It's pretty common in Canada to be able to order fries with sour cream, green onion, tomatoes, and cheese/queso. (It's the best thing on taco bells menu and they don't even have it state-side)
That being said fries are way greasier than a baked potato, and they are better suited to more acidic condiments (ketchup, malt vinegar, etc)

22 0 Replymayonnaise on fries is a staple in Germany.
7 1 ReplyUnironically my two favorite sauces for fries. I attribute a not insignificant portion of my weight gain pre-COVID on slathering cafeteria fries with too much mayo.

I like eating my fries with sour cream.
22 0 ReplyThat's what I was thinking. I've been eating sour cream and fries since I was in high school working in fast food.
To tell you the true get yourself a plain cheeseburger and put sour cream on that. It is dope. I figured that out making messy ass chili cheeseburgers and I mixed in sour cream. It wasn't long before I figured out meat, cheese, and sour cream go very well together.

I think the oil they're deep fried in takes the place of the butter. As for sour cream, I'm not a fan in general so I couldn't tell you.

I find poutine to be the superior presentation of the fry as a meal in its own right.
Also, shoutout to lomo saltado, because that shit slaps pretty hard too.
10 1 ReplyIt is, I'm more surprised that you don't...
Also on the list, any wildcard + Fries.
-
Carne Asada Fries
-
Brisket Fries
-
Fish and Chips (malt vinegar fries with a side of fried fish)
-
Gyro Fries
-
Poutine (Gravy and cheese curds on fries)
-
Hashbrown Fries (Fries with whatever you usually put in hashbrowns)
-
Sausage Gravy Fries
-
Kimchi Fries (although if the Kimchi "pancake" is on offer, get that)
The list goes on. It's almost easier to list things you wouldn't want fries with and even then I'm sure some maniac would order fries under Sashimi.

We bought fries today that came with sour cream on them, they were delicious.
8 1 ReplyIn typical fast food probably cost. Sit down restaurants, I bet they would give it to you if you asked. At home, no one is there to stop you!
6 0 ReplyYou can. Although they're not typically french fries, they are generally thicker cut so you have somewhere to actually put your condiments.
6 0 ReplyBecause they're already filled with lots of fats? Saturated fats at that.
6 0 ReplyMayo is 75% fat and yet it is used as a dip everywhere.
2 0 ReplyBut mayo has only like 6% saturated fats

I'm from the deep south and over here we don't call them french fries. We call them American fries, or just fries. French fries are actually a kind of crisp shaped like fries.
2 17 ReplyI too am from the deep south. Everyone calls them French fries lol
No one has ever called them "American fries" because that's already a different thing
9 1 ReplyBesides, we're supposed to call them Freedom Fries.
