I don't eat most " fries" that places serve. I only make them myself using fresh potato's and cook them with fresh jalapenos, fresh yellow onions, salt, black pepper and cayenne.

In Sweden we like to dip them in ICE CREAM or MILKSHAKE.

It's tastier than it sounds. Give it a try y'all! :D
Yet another reason to not trust heavily Socialist countries. :)

Ketchup is the honest and right way of doing it but since my trip to Belgium I have been know to sneak mayonnaise on the plate and secretively dunk them in that to while pretending not to do so.
No, seriously. Try that. It's a Texas thing too.
Texas fries are cooked with jalapenos and onions. If they aren't cooked with jalapenos and onions they aren't Texas fries!

:p

That recipe isn't as good as the one we use though.
Chop the potato's and put them in a plastic bag. put lemon juice on them. chop onion and jalapenos put them in the bag salt , pepper and cayenne them and shake the bag up mixing it well. Then cook them all together at the same time, keeping the bag sealed in between batches so the flavor gets stronger. salt them again once you take them out. EDIT: don't cook them in the bag, fry them with some sunflower oil. They are awesome!

Just a little salt. Maybe ketchup. Yeah, the boring old way, lol. When I was a kid, I was amazed when I saw people eating them with forks. I just couldn't wrap my head around that XD

Depends on style.

MacDonald's are best with a little salt and dipping sauce of choice. what are called Chips in england are best with salt and vinegar and a nice tomato ketchup. Boring? perhaps, but these are big bits of potato that need something fresh tasting to cut the grease.

How do I eat my French fries? Any damn way. Usually I just eat them plain since I love the taste of them alone (unless we're talking about fries from a fast-food joint, because the salt is never optional), but I also enjoy the occasional poutine. The occasional good poutine, that is. Word to the wise: Never have a poutine in a movie theatre, in case you haven't figured out that all the food there except popcorn tends to be disgusting beyond words, anyway.

Lucky for me, I have fries right here that I'm devouring.
Poutines are a strictly Canadian dish, so not a lot of people are likely to know what it is. lol

I mostly just eat my fries dry with salt. I don't like them with ketchup, oddly. However, since I'm traveling in Ireland right now I recently had some with vinegar, and I think I might try eating them that way more often.

This is so strange.
I had the exact same idea for a thread on the day you posted this, but decided not to go with it.
Somehow we are connected, and it involves french fries...

Edit: I eat them plain, but I like to cook them till they are slightly crispy.

From a store or fast food chain, ketchup. Homemade ones, on the other hand, just get a bit of salt. Twice fried, crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside...
Damn it, now I want fries.

You people are deplorable using different things other then seasoned salt the seasoning of the gods! To put anything else on your fries is out right blasphemy to them... Unless of course it's cheese or bacon, but the fries themselves have to have seasoned salt on them with cheese and bacon on them!

POUTINE BABY!

All the way, and none of this weak ass anglo poutine. I mean hardcore, seperatist, language law slinging, Quebec City poutine. I had some a long time back when I was working at Laval University and I honestly think that it is the only reason the rest of Canada wants to keep Quebec.

It had gravy, three kinds of cheese curds, a touch of bacon (maple smoked), onions and just a bit of Alberta ground beef.

Oh God I want that poutine sooooooo bad now.

You people need to do Chips a la Rhom and Johnno.

Take a bigh arse bowl... dump a shit load of fresh, hot chips in the bowl... now, squirt in worchestershire sauce and vinegar, 2 parts worchestershire to 1 part vinegar (malt vinegar, you heathens). Keep squirting it in until you think you've squirted far too much. Now, have a frenz with the salt and pepper (black pepper). Then add a dash or two of tabasco sauce.

Go nomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom.

Once the chips have been devoured there will be an oily slurry in the bottom of the bowl. DRINK IT. No, don't look at me like that, grow a fucking pair and drink that tasty, tasty slurry.

Mwah! Flavour country!

No salt No condiments. Pro tip when ordering fries at a fast food place ask for no salt on yours, they then have to fry yours up specially as they salt all the fries together when they come out of the fryer normally. So you always get super hot fries that are so good. Plus you can always add salt yourself. I've been doing this for years and no one ever complaints they just assume I'm a health nut and or on a low sodium diet.

Usually as is.
I might coat them in minced garlic.
I might fry them in garlic olive oil.
I might bake them.
Yam fries are good too.
Need to learn how to make curly fries & seasoning.
If I'm eating a homemade burger, I'll dip them in HP Sauce.
If I'm eating a chicken sandwich, I put them in the sandwich & coat the chicken in ketchup.

Why complicate things? All you need with really good chips is a sprinkling of vinegar (malt is good, apple cider is better) and salt. It emphasises the flavour of the potato.

Preferably covered with chili & cheese, the kind of chili & cheese that takes an hour off your life expectancy every few bites. Or with bacon and ranch or with some spicy mustard or pretty much any way they can be eaten. I love me some fries.
