Something magical happens when you cut a potato and deep-fry it. Something wonderful.
The humble potato, Solanum tuberosum, made up of starch, water, and love, came into our hearts at the dawn of civilization — or close enough to that time to lead to a modern consumption of almost 75 pounds per person per year.
The beloved spud can be hashed, mashed, totted, and fried. Julienned and deep-fried, this tuber fills a void in our beings that few other foods can. Fries give us crispy, salty, savory, joy and cholesterol problems — and it's worth it.

2. Crinkle-Cut
These glorious creatures are a subtle improvement on the typical fry. Their wavy exterior increases the surface area for frying and have the capacity to be at least twice as crispy. As with most crimped things, they say, "I'm fun, flirty, and a little sleazy."
