Hmmm - I feel like there must be another name for these,
but I'll be darned if I can figure out what it would be...
Butterfly fries are when they take a potato and thinly slice it in one continuous spiral - so you get one long curly strip.
Which is then promptly fried.*
So - it's really more potato-chippy than French Fry-ish.
Thanks to the fabulous Jenny C. - now you, too, can see the glory and the splendor that is the butterfly fry!
Admit it, don't they look good????
*Don't forget that the official family motto here at the House That Crazy Built is "If It's Fried, It Must Be Tried!"

I don't know what the hell that it but it looks darn tasty!
Ummmm....YUMMY! Ya know, the only reason why I go to fairs is for the food, all the glorious food fried in trans fats.
Unfortunately, I must boycott the Washington State Fair this year because they've decided to BAN, YEP....BAN trans fats. So, I lose out on my beloved once a year funnel cake. Jerks.
I did a little googling and I can't find them called anything other than butterfly fries. Dang that looks good! How have I missed this in all my fair-going?? I am going to be on a mission to find these next summer. The kids consume tons of curly fries at the fair but fries really aren't my fav thing - but if those are more like a potato chip - be still my heart!
tornado fries? I think that's what they call them here.
all I know is: Gabelle and I both let out a sigh when we saw that picture!
no idea what they are called. but they sure look good.
Oh, I wish I had some of those right now!
Our county fair starts next week, so I will definitely be looking for these. I haven't noticed them at the fair before.
I think they call them Tortatoes in Idaho. I don't know why. Butterfly fries sounds much nicer. :D
never saw'em, gotta eat'em.
i had them at a fair last month and they are soo yummy!
You are evil! Those chips look divine!
uuuuuuuuunghhh. that looks so good. i want some.
Best place for "butterfly fries" is JJ Bitting Brewing Co. in Woodbridge, NJ (also the top listing when you google "butterfly fries") Go get um!!!
butterfly frys are also called ribbon frys in other states
come to the oregon state fair to my food booth and if you think that was alot of frys just order my monster fry brick.
