We can make a lot of great things with potatoes, but fries have to be up there as one of the best.

Whoever thought about cutting them up into sticks and deep frying them undeniably represents one of the better sides of humanity. Whether acting as a side dish or daringly taking center stage as a main meal, it is pretty difficult to find a person who doesn’t like eating French fries in one form or another. They are an everyman kind of food.

We all know that carbs are life, and this particular form of potato is proof of that. A good serving of French fries is guaranteed to make even the worst day better. Of course, what makes a French fry good is a matter of debate, including everything from the level of crispiness, what color they are, how much salt you put on, and whether or not you include any sauces. How a person likes their fries is almost as much of a personality indicator as a zodiac sign. For any fry connoisseur, it is going to be very specific.

Even if the perfect way to serve fries is something that can get pretty heated, our combined love for this specific type of fried potato can also bring us great joy as well. For one, it is the perfect topic for a serving of food-based humor, being that they are almost universally loved and related to. The next time you order or cook up a portion, remember the silliness of memes about French fries.
