Classic French fries are one of the most beloved and recognizable side dishes of European cuisine. Its origin is linked to Belgium and France, where crispy golden potato slices became an essential part of street food. Fried in oil, it acquires a delicious crust while remaining soft and airy inside. A light saltiness, the spiciness of paprika, and the delicate taste of potatoes create a perfect balance of flavors. French fries pair excellently with sauces, meat dishes, and vegetables but can also serve as a standalone snack. Hot, aromatic, and incredibly tasty — they are perfect for quick bites, friendly gatherings, or cozy evenings at home.
