Completely random, but a friend is hosting a “potato party” on Saturday where everyone brings a potato dish. I’m bringing fries.

The party is located in East Falls. I’ve googled but just don’t know the area well. Any suggestions on where one can acquire delicious fries in that area so I can razzle and dazzle my friends with a huge catering sized pan of French fried potatoes?

I second this. I'm a big fan of Manayunk Pizza's curly fries, they hold up really well for delivery so I bet they'd be fine transiting to a party if you can get a tray

100%. Fries go from awesome to cold and gross incredibly quick, especially in this weather and ESPECIALLY when transported in a lidded container.

What I would do: hit up a supermarket and pick up 3-4 kinds of dipping sauces/salad dressings. Call ahead to the pizza shop closest to the destination, and set a pickup or delivery time 15 minutes before you want to eat.

Le Bus has good fries but I don’t know if they have huge catering sized portions. Foghorn and Fletcher has decent fries too.

Like 90% of people say McDonalds makes the best fries, just get a massive order from there and be the hero of the party.

Ore-ida crinkle fries. Bring em to the party frozen and cook a bag at a time.

It would be a huge flex if you showed up with home made poutine

um, i would not do this. fries get soggy fast. if you don't believe me, order some fries, let them sit for 30 min and then eat 1/2, and eat the other 1/2 at the hour mark.

If you're looking for alternative ideas, i can hook you up.

yeahhh, i don't think this is a good idea bud.

alternatives:

  1. freshly made potato bread
  2. American: mashed potatoes
  3. Southern: sweet potato pie
  4. German: potato salad
  5. Indian style: Aloo + mattar
  6. Russian style: vodka
