We've got nothing against a classic potato fry here. If anything, we adore french fries, and for countless reasons. They're the perfect ketchup vessel. They taste just as good at 4 a.m. and the next day, too, when you realize you left them on the kitchen counter overnight.
But even with all that love comes an occasional desire for something different. It's just that sometimes we like to mix it up a little; after all, variety is the spice of life. Here are a bunch of fries -- some baked, some covered in parmesan cheese -- that are worthy of your palate every now and again. Enjoy!
