The crispy golden stems, covered in salt, are piled high on my plate. What are they? French Fries. Fries are a very popular food in American all year round. People eat them with ketchup,  salt, ranch or even just plain. They are a very common side dish with any meal but especially hamburgers. They are made by slicing potatoes. Sometimes they are thin and crispy, sometimes thick and soft. Although people have different taste, mostly everyone in America loves munching down on a hot plate of French Fries every once and a while.
