What is the difference between potato fries and sticks?
Fries are always cut into the same size pieces, but sticks are cut into different sizes (and sometimes shapes), and they also have a different recipe. So if you're serving fries as appetizers, a standard serving size should include enough fries for all guests at the table. But if you serve fries as a side dish for a burger, then you need a slightly smaller portion of fries per guest because they'll be served as an accompaniment to the burger.
In a nutshell, potato fries are the most basic and traditional type. They come with ketchup and salt, and are easy to eat. Potato sticks, on the other hand, are prepared differently and have a stronger flavor.

What goes best with potato sticks?
Now that I’ve told you the best part, let me tell you how to make it the best part. First of all, make sure that the potato sticks come with dipping sauce. If you don’t have any, make your own with ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, ranch dressing, honey, or anything else you feel will compliment them. Second, dip the potato sticks in the sauce, and eat them while talking about something that happened to you that day.
