Did you know?
French fries are believed to have been invented in Dinant, Belgium. Originally, locals fried small fish as a staple, but in the winter when rivers froze and fish were scarce, they started cutting potatoes into fish-like shapes and frying them instead. Potatoes had recently been introduced to the region from France, giving birth to what we now know as French fries.
The term “fries” became popular in the U.S. during World War I.
Frying at high heat can create acrylamides, a chemical potentially linked to health risks.
Fast-food fries often include dextrose and other additives for color and texture.
