Fry places are a dime a dozen in Amsterdam, but I thought Frietsteeg had some of the best potatoes…read more The fries were super crispy and extra salty, and they were served in good sized portions.
You pick your size of potatoes and then sauces that you'd like served on top. Frietsteeg gives you the sauces on the side, which I really like. Most places simply squirt the sauces on top of the fries, which really stinks if it turns out you don't like the sauce.
I opted for a small order of fries with a traditional side of mayonnaise for dipping. There isn't any seating so you strictly grab and go. Bags of fresh potatoes sit out front as a sign of quality.
This place is located next to a coffeeshop, so they stay pretty busy all day and night and the clientele is interesting at all hours. Smoke a little weed and fries sound even more appealing than ever, lol.
The fries here area tasty, fresh and affordable. I'm not sure it's worth a detour to get fries here because you can't really go wrong with fried potatoes anywhere in the city.
