Fun fact: Matchstick fries are often used as a topping for hotdogs in Argentina in their "Pancho" hotdog, and in Chile in other hotdog called "Tejano" which means Texan

How can a 15 minute video on fries can be more entertaining than the most feature films these days? 😂😂😂

Mad respect for showing Thrasher's French Fries up there. Even as a Marylander though I don't see that many people put vinegar on it, it's always available but I can't resist the Old Bay and ketchup.

Great video. I could watch an entire one about the history of the tater tot. What an innovative way to avoid waste.

I miss the wedges at KFC. They stood out among other fast food places.

Seattle native, the moment you started talking about the wedge fries I thought, "All right, Jo Jo's made the list!" Good job on the research for that.

fun fact: here in australia at least we don't call them 'tater tots', likely due to the branding thing you mentioned. instead we call them Potato Gems.

A big serve of thick cut chips with sea salt and brown vinegar drizzled with tomato sauce makes me happy 😊

Amazing video! I'd love to see a video talking about the most popular local chains/restaurants in each state!

Shoutout to Culver’s and their crinkle cuts - made fresh to order.

I knew you were my people

Thanks for the entertaining history lesson 😊

In the Tornado Fries section there should have been a mention of Ribbon Fries which are very similar but minus the stick, instead being served on a plate. They're very common and fairs here in the US.

11:15 This is a poutine! Fries, cheese curds, and gravy. I'm from Québec, the homeland of poutine!

I improved my french by 200% thanks to this video

Great history lesson 😊. I would love to see a video on how wings got to be popular.

At least one commentor mentioned "batter-coated" fries and I think that could have been included as a unique "type" of fry. It's one of my favorites. Next is curly fries, then waffle-cut. Man, waffle-cut fries are perfect for dipping, they hold SO MUCH sauce!

[deirdregibbons]

This was delightful. I enjoyed hearing the history and cooking details of each type. I even learned about some fries I had not heard of.

Aussie here, have literally never heard these referred to as "Aussie wedges", no idea who told you that was a thing. They're just potato wedges.

Most of those cuts I've never even seen before, I think we might be a bit boring with our variations of fries in Norway from what I've seen, though I've not really been to any super fancy restaurants, but our fast food places generally just serve the same cut McDonalds got.
Though the wedges are popular sold in bags ready to fry, translated from Norwegian they're called "potato boats" here. :P

Also, I've always loved the French names, they've affected Norwegian a bit too, as fries here are often called "pommes frites" which is a hilarious name if ya look at it.
To those who don't know random French words, in French a potato is called "pomme de terre" and to put that into context... the French word for apple is "pomme" thus the French potato is "apple of the earth" or earth apple.
Which means... pommes frites translates to fried apple. :P
So the Pomme Souffle basically means puffed up apple.
And the way we use the French word in Norwegian also reflects on dialects here, as some areas of Norway will call potatoes "jordepler" which translates to earth apples, just like the French.
(though pommes frites does get shortened in Norwegian in conversation, to basically "pomfri")

And this concludes my random ADHD tangent for today.

Edit:
I just remembered, I think one of the options for fries we get here in Norway, didn't show up on this list, pommes noisettes, they're little potato balls.

I love them all except for those thin julienne fries....Also I think you've forgotten to add the 'smiley faces' cut in this list😄
