Its a French fries story

Fried potatoes are a loved snack in many parts of the world. It is one of the most basic recipes, is easy to make, but is still the king of all appetisers. And the origin of this heavenly dish is as interesting as its flavour.

According to one story – fries first originated in Paris in 1789 by street vendors on the Pont Neuf Bridge, right before the uprising of the French Revolution. Although, Belgian historians claim potatoes being fried in the late 1600s. The villages along the River Meuse in Belgium commonly ate fried fish. And in the winter months, the river would freeze which naturally made fishing impossible. They then had to find other ways of getting food, which is when the villagers turned to their tubers and potatoes came in to steal the show! It is believed that this dish was spotted by American soldiers stationed in Belgium during World War I. Since their official language was French, they nicknamed this dish – ‘French Fries.’ That is also how French Fries got to America.
