France/Quebec
I lived in france for 9 years and never once did i see them on the menu as "pommes de terre frites"
"pommes frites" and "frites" are the most common ways of them being listed, and thus should be placed before "pommes de terre frites", or better yet - just remove "pommes de terre frites"

Incorrect Nutrition Information
Hello. I am new to Wikipedia, and I noticed a mistake under the "Health aspects" section and citation 48. When you click on citation 48, and go to the McDonald's USA website, and then select size "large" under french fries, you will see that the nutrition facts stated in this article are incorrect. Please adjust them to fit the updated nutrition information as displayed on the website. Thank you. Furthermore, under this health aspects section, it may be beneficial to include other healthier french fry cooking methods such as an air fryer. --Efishers (talk) 17:26, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

- Accompaniments section is severely overlinked. Practically, almost the whole section is blue. Please keep only the most important ones and remove any all the duplicated, per above. Done Removed many obvious links, while keeping more rarer foods.
Rephrases
- The exact times of the two baths depend on the size of the potatoes(in preparation) -> The exact duration of each of the two baths depends on the size of the potatoes Done
MOS:WORDS related
- The Etymology section appears to be a bit WP:EDITORIAL. Could you rephrase these parts? Done I reworked the sentence starters and an unnecessary sentence. AmericanAir88 (talk) 00:49, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
- Belgium section includes weasel words such as some claim that, a common belief is, and WP:ALLEGED words such supposedly, which compromise the article's neutrality. Please re-write the section after reading MOS:WORDS. Done
Other
- United States section is unreferenced. Done
- Techniques section should be incorporated into the rest of the article and removed. Done
- In infobox France and Belgium are presented as the two potential countries of origin, however in prose, Spain is also included. Done
- I really have my concerns regarding structure. Culinary origin section is consisted of 4 sub-sections, of which, Subsequent history appears a bit unrelated to the rest, Spain not well-connected with the rest. Could you please fix this? (or try another structure) Done - Merged the two and paraphrased AmericanAir88 (talk) 01:37, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

additional comments by David notMD
- COMMENTS:
Health aspects needs details and citations on the discontinuation of partially unsaturated vegetable oils for purpose of eliminating trans fatty acids. Too many countries - does this article really need Scandinavia? What is missing entirely is some sense of consumption per capita by country, and international trade. If there are 5,000 KFCs and 2,000 McDonalds in China, someone is eating a lot of French fries. Is that from China-grown potatoes of imported frozen from U.S. and Canada?David notMD (talk) 00:29, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
Done
- MORE COMMENTS: What type of potato makes the best French fries? (Hint, https://idahopotato.com/ says its the Russet Burbank, although some chains prefer the Russet Norkotah.) Same site says that potatoes fresh out of the ground can have too high a water content - resulting in soggy fries - so preference is for spuds that have been in storage for a while. Most chains no longer start with fresh potatoes, but rather buy frozen. And you may want to find a way to differentiate true French fries from stuff reconstituted from mashed, dehydrated potato into TaterTots and other abominations. David notMD (talk) 21:05, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
- INFORMATION SOURCES: The statistics yearbook, page 81, shows that 35% of U.S. production ends up as frozen fries, and which countries exported to, and what is exported. https://www.flipsnack.com/nationalpotatocouncil/2017-potato-statistical-yearbook-final.html The TRADE part of this site https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/crops/vegetables-pulses/potatoes.aspx#potatoes states that in 2009, the U.S. exported three billion pounds of frozen french fries. I believe lower in more recent years, as China now growing more for in-country consumption.

- Glad to see this (French fries as business, not just as food) being addressed. I defer to reviewer on what is nice versus necessary to complete the GA. David notMD (talk) 04:52, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
