According to a recent study, Americans consume over 4 billion pounds of french fries annually.

The French Fry

While the name may suggest otherwise, most historians agree that french fries actually have their origins in Belgium, rather than France. Contrary to popular belief, the term “French” actually refers to the style of cut used to prepare the potatoes, rather than the country of France itself, as reported by the Associated Press.

As stated by National Geographic, the introduction of the delicious treat to the United States was credited to Thomas Jefferson, an American revolutionary.

While ketchup is the go-to dipping sauce for fries, there are also other popular options.

    • Ranch dressing
    • Vinegar
    • Mayonnaise
    • Honey mustard
    • Cheese
