Fries/chips/frites/patatje – chop a potato into straws and deep-fry it and you are on to a winner.
I looked into “must-eat” foods before we went to Amsterdam, and something that came up repeatedly was chips topped with mayonnaise, satay sauce and raw onion.
This topping, known as oorlog (meaning war), is certainly a memorable combination. I love all of the ingredients separately, and was pretty confident I would like them together, and I was right. It was amazing! Creamy mayo, sweet spicy nutty satay and the bite of raw onion all on top of crispy golden fries.
We got these from the renowned hole-in-the-wall Vleminckx the Sausmeester on Voetboogstraat 33 – easily found due to the queue.
Good to see you active again, tasty visit to Holland. I miss that hearty stolid food in this cold weather.
I found this page because I need a platform or forum that talks about Patatje Oorlog(war fries). I need it for my school project, but it looks like this page is not active.
