History, tradition and origin
Belgium and France both claim the fried potato stick, sold from street stands since the nineteenth century. Onion rings, breaded cheese, stuffed peppers and fried pickles are later American bar and diner snacks. All depend on the same idea: a crisp, salty coating around something soft, made to share.
Food economy and industry
Potatoes are the world's most important non-grain food crop, and a large share of the North American and European harvest is cut, blanched and frozen as fries. A handful of processors supply restaurants around the world. Frying oil is a major cost for kitchens, and used oil is collected and recycled into biodiesel.
