Look, I know fries are the obvious choice. But obvious is popular for a reason: they are scientifically proven to be the perfect vehicle for leftover marinara. You dip a fry into the sauce from your sandwich, and boom—you’ve just created a perfect, cheesy-carb-pasta triangle. It’s food geometry.
However, we’re not talking about sad, skinny shoestring fries. We need steak fries or waffle fries. Something with the structural integrity to hold a glob of sauce without snapping like a twig. A soggy fry is a war crime. A crunchy, potatoey plank that supports your dipping addiction is a national treasure.
Fun fact: The average American eats 29 pounds of fries per year. That’s roughly one fry for every meatball sandwich you’ll ever regret not eating. You do the math.
