Food History: French Fries

French fries vs. tater tots ... which is the superior fried potato? Let's start at the beginning. French fries came from ... France, right? Oh boy, we've got a lot of history to get through. Join host Justin Dodd in a journey through the history of fried potatoes. Food History is a series from Mental Floss where we dive deep into the culinary stories that lead to the food on our plates.
