These elegant fries, known for their extra crispiness, offer a unique texture and flavor experience. They've been around since at least 1722 in Francois Massialot's Le Cuisinier Royal et Bourgeoi for the oldest known written reference to the julienne cut although revolutionary French chef and restaurateur Georges Auguste Escoffier often gets the credit.  The julienne cut involves cutting food into long, thin strips, often resembling matchsticks. You can find julienne fries at restaurants, you can make your own, or you can buy matchstick potatoes in a can at the grocery store!
