National Julienne Fries Day

About National Julienne Fries Day

Here are five things to know about Fries:

1. Leaving the potato skin on French fries actually leaves in important vitamins that are lost if the skins are peeled away.
2. In the United Kingdom, they are called “chips”.
3. French fries are, perhaps, poorly-named, since they originate in Belgium and are most popular in America.
4. Though French fries were invented in Europe, the potatoes, from which they are made, originated in the Americas and were imported.
5. The first occurrence of French fries in America may have been at a diplomatic dinner hosted by Thomas Jefferson.
