However, as most of the native people and members of the Belgian Army spoke French, they (the Americans and British soldiers) called the fried potatoes French Fries. French Fries, however, are now served a little different than Belgian fries. The Belgian-style fries typically come in a paper cone, are made from freshly cut potatoes (never frozen), fried twice and served with mayonnaise as a dipping sauce. Known as "Frieten", they are the national snack of Belgium. Delicious!
