pommes frites
Fried potato sticks
Pommes frites is the French term for fried potatoes, used in English to give a continental flair to what would otherwise be called French fries or chips.
The phrase appears on upscale restaurant menus and in foodie contexts where plain "fries" might seem too casual.
The burger came with a generous portion of pommes frites and aioli.
