America's Favorite Fries: Austin Edition
The hunt for America's favorite french fries ends in Austin with a clear winner: P. Terry’s, an Austin original, bags the top spot with over 25% of reader votes.
"We hope our customers realize that everything we serve is fresh. We start fresh every morning. We don't have freezers, microwaves, or heat lamps."
- Patrick Terry, co-founder of P. Terry’s
The secret to their success? Simple, fresh ingredients. Liam Davila, the Fry Guy, walks us through the process: slice potatoes, soak in hot water & vinegar, rinse, dry, fry, salt, and serve in a paper bag.
Founded in 2005, P. Terry’s is committed to quality. They use Idaho potatoes, stored in climate-controlled conditions, fried in canola oil with no trans fats, and never frozen.
As Patrick Terry says, they’re serving millions of potatoes a week across Austin, providing the freshest fast-food experience.
