They're Called "Souffleed Potatoes", or "Pommes Soufflee"!

I don't know if they'd qualify as "fries" exactly, but the puffed potatoes they used to serve at Arnaud's in New Orleans were beyond awsome. I'm also not sure, for that matter, what they called these marvelous creations.

For me, the best fries are those which melt the cheese on top of my steak/chicken salad before I cool them down with oil and vinegar. Could be another 'Burgh-related dish. I know when I lived in the South people looked at me like I was nuts when I asked for fries on my salad.

You Pittsburgers are an interesting lot... but fries on salad do sound tasty!

The best french fries in the entire world can be found at Reddi-Chick, at the Brentwood Country Mart. I don't know if it is the seasoning salt; they just make perfect fries. Chicken basket is pretty good too.

Best fast food fry is still McD's... which I have with sweet n' sour sauce.

seems more and more franchises are charging for sauces if you don't buy any nuggets (and even then limit the number strictly) :(

Best fries I've had: Pommes Frites. 123 2Nd Ave, Manhatten. First dipping sauce (40 choices) is free. It's almost worth the 4 hour dive and the parking down there.
Hands down. Day to day, It's surely MickeyDs. ChicFilA a close second on a good day. |
Best Fries ever
Paley's Place restaurant in NW Portland. They are elegant and fabulous. Don't miss them in the city of roses next

Yes, a very disappointing trend. I mean, 25c for a sauce packet? Or you only get 1 for a six-piece? And now they're smaller! Are they losing that much money on them? Or perhaps a sign that the golden era of McD is over. I just bypass those locations... there are plenty of McDs around here.
oddly enough, they don't seem to have limits on ketchup packets ... |

Absolutely best use for a french fry: http://www.primantibros.com
For those not familiar with this Pittsburgh institution, it is meat (steak, turkey,tuna etc), plus fried egg, plus cole slaw, plus tomato, plus french fries served on Italian bread. Messy....and incredibly delicious. Bacon, ham, egg, cheese grilled up and served with french fries and cole slaw on thickly sliced soft italian bread. The world's best beer sponge ^ |
Best fries around here are from Runza.

I'm the antithesis of a fry snob -- I will eat just about anything that is passed off as a fry. I have even become more than a little hooked (as has our whole family) on the frozen Alexia Sweet Potato Juliennes. Actually, all of the brands of Alexia fries are tasty.
LOVE the pommes frites places in NYC, too. I'd eat them three meals a day if I lived there. Oink, oink! |
The best are pommes frites.
For fast food, I prefer Whataburger or Wendy's fries. |
I fell for the fries with truffle oil and asiago cheese at the Fog City Diner in SFO.

Really Good Fries in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware
Thrasher's Fries is a small storefront just a few steps from the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk; they've been drawing long lines since the 1920s selling nothing but french fries and soft drinks.
What does that tell you about those french fries? They don't even have ketchup, by the way, just salt and apple cider vinegar to sprinkle over your fries. |
