What's the difference between: French fries, American fries,Country fries ?

Question

Is it the shape or the way it's made or what ?

Answer 1

Never heard of American fries but I know the other two, at least what I had growing up.

Basically, it's in the cut and the frying method

French fries are cut from the potato long ways so are long and slender. They are generally cut thin and deep fried.

Country fries or what we used to call country fried potatoes are cut cross ways and come out like a small disk. They are generally pan fried, sometimes with onion. Yumm, yumm.

Answer 2

American Fries

Answer 3

French fries are generally made with only the inside of the potato, whereas country fries usually incorporate much of the peel. And the country fries are somewhat more substantial. I don't know what American fries are...

Answer 4

French fries: the fried potato sticks are known as pomme' frite in France.
American fries: hand me down from the Irish shoe string potatoes
Country fries: The same thing as home fries usually round medallions.

Answer 5

it all depends on the way they are made. American fries and French fries are the same, but country fries are usually prepared in a deepfryed fashion other then the conventional cooking method of American/French fries.
