Crisp, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and dunked in ketchup (or mayonnaise), fries are irresistible, cheap and perfect for sharing, and can be topped with just about anything. Here are our top 10!
Village Voice: The Huajio fried potatoes are freaky and HOT. These fried potato slices are covered in cumin and Sichuan peppercorns and may leave you breathing fire, but it's worth it, we swear!

Village Voice: The sweet potato fries here are incredible. They're light, crisp and not at all greasy, but be careful stopping by during brunch or you'll have to wait a while for your sweet potato fix.

Village Voice: When it comes to down-home fries seasoned with a little salt and pepper, this is the place. The fries come browned with delicately crispy ends in a basket next to a bucket of sauces.

Village Voice: The fries here are what we picture when we think of a great fry. They come in a silver cone..no...a goblet with ketchup and mayo and are perfectly browned, crisp and classic.

Village Voice: The moules frites here are a remake of the classic: a pile of fries is doused in white wine gravy and littered with de-shelled mussels. Sandwich one between two fries and you have the perfect bite.

Village Voice: Zucchini fries, done right, can be even better than their potato counterparts. Here, it's a perfect crunch on the outer shell and zucchini that practically melts in your mouth. Chase with cold beer.

Village Voice: Belgian-style double fried fries means these potatoes are silky smooth on the inside and crispy on the outside. You can't go wrong with ketchup, but try a funky add-on like Vietnamese pineapple mayo.

Village Voice: Some fry connoisseurs turn their noses up at potato wedges, but the duck-fat fries will have even wedge-haters drooling. They're fried in duck fat (duck fat!!) and perfectly crispy.

Village Voice: Poutine may sound odd, but it's actually kind of perfect. Crispy fries soak up the drippings from the smoked beef, melted cheese curds are dotted throughout, and a deliciously thick gravy tops it off.
