Did you know?
- Thomas Jefferson had "potatoes served in the French manner" at a White House dinner in 1802.
- The expression "French Fried Potatoes" first occurs in print in English in the 1856 work Cookery for Maids of All Work by E Warren: "French Fried Potatoes. – Cut new potatoes in thin slices, put them in boiling fat, and a little salt; fry both sides of a light golden brown colour; drain."
- In the early 20th century, the term "French fried" was being used in the sense of "deep-fried", for other foods such as onion rings or chicken.
- To this day, there is an ongoing debate between France and Belgium about which of these countries invented this delicious dish.
