Soggy warm fries are the best from McDonalds. Of course, I put mine in my burger. The sauce from the cheeseburger or Big Mac gives it a bit of taste.

Also, I dip mine in my strawberry sundae.

I like The Hat, but gotta say if I'm doing gravy and fries, I have to do it Texas-style - which would be dry fries with a nice bowl of white CREAM gravy on the side for dipping.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm....

Too bad I don't eat gravy anymore (flour) and rarely touch fries these days.

Fries in Amsterdam are fabulous. I love the paper cone, the little useless fork and the plethora of sauces that I can't pronouce. One day I'll figure out what they all are. Until then, I'll stick with the mayonnaise or vinegar.

I also love steak fries with the skin on. I used to eat McD's fries but stopped once I found out about the beef flavoring.

Best fast food fry is still McD's... which I have with sweet n' sour sauce.
If you want them really hot, order them with 'no salt'. You can then get the salt at the condiment bar. I've done this for years - never had an issue and they're hot hot hot!

Don't forget the home of the potato (for me anyway!) and the Best Fish & Chips in Ireland thread.

Get some great chips with your fish at the local fishing harbour or dockside restaurant or pub in Dublin (Dun Laoghaire & Blackrock) or Killarney, Cork!

Have you ever dipped your 'chip' in chowder?

PS. It's a lot of fun to order fish & chips in New Zealand, too, to hear regional accent variations. ^ Order from the local Dairy!

And healthier than McD's as well.

Agree completely. I had mayo and ketchup. The fries store right on Damrak.

I had some pretty good fries at a fish & chips place in Cambridge, England many years ago as well.
