Fries
Fries, deep-fried chipped potatoes, are very popular in Belgium. In Belgium you can buy fries in fast food stands or dedicated fast-food restaurants called "friteries" (French) or "frietkot"/ "fritkot" / "frituur" (Dutch). They are served with a large variety of sauces and eaten either on their own or in the company of other snacks as fricandelle or burgers. Traditionally, they are served in a "cornet de frites", a conic white piece of cardboard then wrapped in a piece of paper, with a good spoonful of sauce on the top. With the fries they serve many traditional fast food products, such as frikandel, gehaktbal or kroket.
The majority of Belgian households have a deep fryer, allowing them to make their own French fries and other deep-fried foods, including croquettes, at home.
