Yup, French fries are Belgian. Also - it's important to cook them twice, otherwise it's just McDonalds and not real French fries.

Tbf McDonalds is also double fried, just the first time happens before they are flash frozen and sent to the restaurant.
Sysco does or used to sell a french fry that was indistinguishable from McDonald's when cooked similarly. They had a catalog that visualized lined up individual representative french fries.
Okay, I didn't want to elaborate the entire recipe :)... was just a way of making a small joke by making it sound like the Champagne wine region.
That's how my grandfather made them using peanut oil. Blanch and then fry, with a thermometer in the oil.
Met ossenwit.
