French fries – almost as universally loved as pizza. However, they're no longer boring slices of deep-fried potato, oh no. They go so far beyond that. Although a sprinkle of salt and a smear of ketchup are still ideal accouterments to your favorite fries, there's a big wide world of fry-inspired goodness out there. You don't even have to rely on potatoes now, nor do you have to fry your fries. Bake them, saute them, toss them in bubbling oil – it's your choice!
