A Little History Behind the Recipe

Homemade fries have humble origins dating back to 18th-century Europe—particularly Belgium and France, where sliced potatoes were first fried and served as a quick street snack. While the term “French fries” became popular thanks to American soldiers in World War I, the tradition of making fries at home has always been a symbol of comfort and simplicity.

Today, homemade fries are a global favorite—easy to customize, budget-friendly, and a perfect way to turn everyday potatoes into a golden, crispy treat. Chef Yous brings you this timeless classic with a homemade twist that’s healthier and just as satisfying as any fast-food version.
