National French Fry Day

Five Food Finds about French Fries

• French fries are, perhaps, poorly-named, since they originate in Belgium and are most popular in America.

• In England these are referred to as "chips"

• Though French fries were invented in Europe, the potatoes, from which they are made, originated in the Americas and were imported.

• Leaving the potato skin on French fries actually leaves in important vitamins that are lost if the skins are peeled away.
