Shoestring potatoes.

Nah the middle is better referred to as Haystack. Shoestring style is like McDonalds

If that's shoestring what the hell is the typical fast food cut called? I thought that was shoestring. 🤔

Typical American fast food fries are a julienne cut. The tiny shoestring ones are also called matchstick fries.

Shoestring, julienne, matchstick, haystack

There seems to be some contention on this.

I'll just chalk that up to regional differences in naming. Like Soda vs Pop. I've never seen this in California. Where might I actually order "matchstick fries" or a "haystack?" :3

Freddy's Steakburgers is a chain that serves matchstick style fries. Idk if they are in California, but they've popped up all over the Midwest. I hate them, but several of my friends swear by them. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

I don't know if you're being silly or I need to point out I meant the fries. 🤣

Haha, yep I guess I was being silly. Had a few cocktails at happy hour and totally misunderstood that. 😂
