August 12th
National Julienne Fries Day

Julienne fries, also known as shoestring fries, are a type of french fry that is cut into thin, long strips. The potatoes are typically cut using a mandoline or a special julienne slicer to ensure that the fries are all uniform in size. Julienne fries are thinner than regular french fries and have a crispier texture due to their smaller size. They are often served as a side dish to burgers or sandwiches, or as a snack on their own. Julienne fries can be seasoned with a variety of spices and herbs, such as garlic, paprika, or parsley, to add extra flavor. They are typically deep-fried until golden brown, although they can also be baked in the oven for a healthier alternative.
