Frites with Mayonnaise · Amsterdam
Amsterdam frites are double-fried Belgian-style chips, served in a cone with a thick layer of Dutch mayonnaise or one of twenty-plus sauce options at the counter, eaten standing up or walking.
Belgian-style double-fried frites arrived in Amsterdam in the post-war period. Vleminckx De Sausmeester opened on Voetboogstraat in 1957 and codified the city's frites format: thick-cut chips, fried twice for the crisp shell, mayonnaise the default sauce. The cone wrapping is the convention, eaten on the alley pavement. Heertje on Herengracht runs the modern hand-cut version.
