soggy fries
Steam-ruined potato sticks
Soggy fries are french fries that have lost their crispness, becoming limp and soft from moisture, steam, or sitting too long.
The sogginess typically comes from condensation in a closed container or from toppings like cheese and gravy.
Some people consider them ruined; others prefer them: I actually like soggy fries—fight me.
