'''French fries''' are a [[fast food]] made from [[potato]]es that have been cut into less-than-quarter-inch, stringy length-wise slices and deep-fat fried (twice in some recipes). They are very popular in  the U. S.; they are often served with [[hamburgers]] and many connoisseurs pour ketchup over them, and in Belgium and France, where they are called ''frites'' and eaten with [[mayonnaise]]. In Canada, they are served with gravy and cheese curds in a dish called [[Poutine]].  In Britain they are called '[[chips]]', are generally thicker than the American and European fries, and are often garnished with salt or malt vinegar, although gravy and [[curry sauce]] are more recent, popular accompaniments.

However, American style thinner fries are often called "fries" in Britain, and both types are widely available.
