Pommes frites

Pommes frites, commonly known as French fries, are sliced potatoes that are deep-fried until crispy and golden. They are a popular side dish or snack enjoyed worldwide, often seasoned with salt and sometimes served with condiments like ketchup or mayonnaise. The process involves cutting whole potatoes into uniform strips or other shapes, then immersing them in hot oil to cook quickly and evenly. Their crispy exterior and soft interior make them a favorite comfort food, appreciated for their texture and flavor. Variations include thicker-cut fries, shoestring, or waffle fries, each offering a different eating experience.
