Why don't we put butter and sour cream on French fries? They're basically like tiny skinless baked potatoes... (self.showerthoughts)

It's pretty common in Canada to be able to order fries with sour cream, green onion, tomatoes, and cheese/queso. (It's the best thing on taco bells menu and they don't even have it state-side)

That being said fries are way greasier than a baked potato, and they are better suited to more acidic condiments (ketchup, malt vinegar, etc)

Unironically my two favorite sauces for fries. I attribute a not insignificant portion of my weight gain pre-COVID on slathering cafeteria fries with too much mayo.
