While often associated with France, the consensus is that frites originated in Belgium. During winter months, when fishing was impossible, villagers fried potatoes as a substitute for their usual fried fish. American soldiers stationed in Belgium during World War I mistakenly called them 'French fries' because the Belgians spoke French.

The primary flavor of frites is savory potato, amplified by salt and often complemented by a dipping sauce. The texture plays a crucial role, with a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
The taste depends greatly on the type of potato used, the oil used for frying (beef fat or vegetable oil), and the cooking technique. Typically, potatoes like Russet or Bintje are preferred for their high starch content. Double-frying is a common method to achieve the desired crispiness. Salt is the essential seasoning, but various sauces, such as mayonnaise, ketchup, aioli, or andalouse sauce, significantly alter the overall flavor profile.

Potato Selection
Choose potatoes with high starch content, such as Russet or Bintje. These varieties produce a fluffy interior and crisp exterior.
Double Frying
Double-frying is crucial. Fry the potatoes at a lower temperature (around 325°F or 160°C) first to cook them through. Then, fry them a second time at a higher temperature (around 375°F or 190°C) to achieve the desired crispiness.
Oil Quality
Use fresh, clean oil with a high smoke point. Beef fat is traditional but vegetable oil works too. Avoid overcrowding the fryer, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fries.
Salting
Salt the fries immediately after the second frying, while they are still hot, to ensure the salt adheres properly.
