Potatoes cut thick and fried twice, crisp outside and soft inside, sold in a paper cone with mayonnaise or other sauces from a friterie or frietkot.
Fries are very popular in Belgium, where they are thought to have originated: a 1781 book describes people around the Meuse eating fried potatoes since about 1680. Belgian fries are fried twice, and they are sold from friteries called frietkot or frituur, traditionally in a paper cone, usually with mayonnaise. In Bruges the Frietmuseum is open daily, FritBar sells a cone for €6.50 with over 20 toppings, and Frituur De Gentpoorte fries in plant-based fat and serves take-away only.
