frites
Golden fried potatoes
Frites is the French word for fried potatoes, used in English to sound more sophisticated than "fries" or to signal Belgian-style preparation.
Restaurant menus favor steak frites or moules frites.
The word implies thinner, crispier fries than American-style, often served in a paper cone with aioli or mayonnaise.
