*On the second Friday in July,
we recognize an American favorite known as the french fry on National French Fry Day.
French fries, also known as chips, fries, finger chips,
or French-fried potatoes, are batons of deep-fried potatoes.
no matter what we call them,
they’re common fixtures at many restaurants and are loved by all ages!
