New Delhi: National French Fry Day is observed in the United States on the second Friday of July, which this year falls on July 14. This day was previously observed on July 13 each year but it has been shifted to the second Friday in July beginning in 2023. The significance of this day has altered to correspond with the moniker 'Fry-day'.
The French fry, like most classic items, has an intriguing folk myth about how it was born. Belgians claim ownership of the origins of French fries, stating that they invented them. Residents of the Meuse Valley, near Dinant in Belgium, eat a lot of fish, according to a manuscript by Joseph Gerard, because they lived near the river. During the winter, when the rivers froze and fishing became difficult, the idea of slicing potatoes into fish fillets and frying them in hot fat was born.
To celebrate this day, here are a few recipes that you can try at home.
