Chips, finger chips, french-fried potatoes, pommes frites or french fries. They're all the same thing - hot and crispy fried goodness. I've never had a bad french fry. It's just something you can't screw up.  Some are thick, some are thin, some are waffled, some are seasoned, some are "cottaged". Cottage fries are my personal favorite. I also love fries with gravy and cheese curds, also known as poutine.

The website Mental Floss came up with a list of the best fries in every state. I'll be honest, I didn't see this coming. I was quite surprised with the choice for South Dakota. Taphouse 41 has fries tossed in duck fat. Red Robin has awesome (and unlimited) steak fries. Fuddrucker's Fudd Fries have always been a favorite of mine. In this case, less is more. The winner of the best fries in South Dakota are the french fries at The Keg. Here's what the website said:

The fried chicken at The Keg is legendary, but the classic French fries deserve just as much recognition. These simple, no-frills frites will put you in French fry heaven. If you’re extra hungry, get a half pound (or full pound, we won't judge) order of the spuds.

We conducted our own survey last year.  Here's where to find the best fries in Sioux Falls according to our poll.
