I like my french fries either way, with the skin on or off. It all tastes good to me. How about you?

I like my french fries salted with skin on. The skin has a kind of crispy taste and adds to the flavor of the french fry. Without skin, french fries taste mildly bland to me.

That crispier taste would be what I would want in a fry.

I am totally unAmerican. I do not really care for french fries. If I am going to be served fries, let me have them skin on. Then I know they are regular potatoes. I really dislike the crinkle cut fries that are pre cooked and formed.

Baked potatoes are my favorite fast food. Actually, I just microwave them. They are so good with a little chili, or with cheese and broccoli, or whatever you want. The potato is not very high in calories, and it fills you up and then you do not eat as much of the more fattening topper.

I don't think I've ever had fries with the skins on them. Weird! So I guess I haven't tried them.

I agree! French fries are great either way. I'll eat mine with skin on or off. I also like my french fries with ketchup, or cheese or gravy. Yummy!

I prefer mine with no skin on it, to me that isn't a real french fry if it has a skin on it. Plus it seem's to taste better with no skin.

Some people don't like the skin, that's o.k.

my allergist told me that the things that bother me in potatoes are more in the skin and it would be better if I didn't eat it

I guess I've only had them one way, skins off. I think with the skins on they are called baked potatos?

Some restaurants make them with the skins on, like steak houses.

I can eat them either way, but my husband likes it when i leave the skin on so that is the way that i usually make them.

I like to eat french fries but I have never fried it myself. I will only buy french fries from Mcdonalds. It is my favorite french fries that come with no skin. I don't think I have eaten any french fries with skin. I hope I can try it out 1 day. Maybe I will fried myself for the first time.

I have always eaten my french fries with out the skin. It tastes good. I have never tried fries with the skin. But I have tried baked potatoes in their jackets with cream. It taste so good. I will make it a point to make fries with the skin.

I would rather eat my french fries without the skins on them. I do not eat the skins on my baked potato either. I just do not like the taste of it. I think I might fix me some french fries tonight. That made me hungry for them LOL.

I like them both ways, but my kids prefer them skin off. So that is how I do them for the kids. I think the skin on the fries tastes good.
