Fruit French Fries

French Fries the small longish chopped sliced pieces of potatoes fried are common snacks. By value addition in the variety of snacks, the French fries are also available of fruits instead potatoes only.

One of the world's most beloved dishes has a very interesting history that tells that French Fries were invented in Belgium, where the impoverished residents have the custom of always serving a side of small fried fish with every dish.

French fries are served hot, either soft or crispy, and are generally eaten as part of lunch or dinner or by themselves as a snack, and they commonly appear on the menus of diners, fast food restaurants, pubs, and bars.

They are usually salted and, depending on the country, may be served with ketchup, vinegar, tomato sauce, mayonnaise, or other local specialties. Fries can be topped more heavily, as in the dishes of poutine and chili cheese fries. Chips can be made from kumara or other sweet potatoes instead of potatoes. A baked variant, oven chips, use less oil or no oil. One very common fast food dish is fish and chips.

However, when the lake they caught the fish in froze over in winter, they would replace the fried fish with fried potatoes sliced into long, thin strips. Today, the youngest family members are most enchanted with this potato delicacy, though love for French fries knows no age limit.

Ledo French Fries is a premium product made from selected varieties of the highest quality potatoes and is very easy to prepare.

Thomas Jefferson had "potatoes served in the French manner" at a White House dinner in 1802. The expression "French fried potatoes" first occurred in print in English in the 1856 work Cookery for Maids of All Work by E. Warren: "French Fried Potatoes. – Cut new potatoes in thin slices, put them in boiling fat, and a little salt; fry both sides of a light golden brown color; drain. This account referred to thin, shallow-fried slices of potato – it is not clear where or when the now familiar deep-fried batons or fingers of potato were first prepared. In the early 20th century, the term "French fried" was being used in the sense of "deep-fried" for foods like onion rings or chicken.

Granny Apple's Fries at Legoland California serves fries made from fruit. On busy days, the stand goes through approximately 1,500 green apples. 

Once the apple slices are pulled from the fryer, they're rolled in cinnamon and topped with fresh whip cream. It's like having an apple pie in a cup.
