Best Patat Met in Amsterdam

Patat Met, or fries with mayonnaise, is the quintessential Amsterdam street fuel, served in iconic paper cones. These are not your average fast-food fries; they are thick-cut, double-fried for maximum crunch, and fluffy on the inside. While mayonnaise is the traditional topping, Amsterdammers have elevated the snack with a variety of sauces like 'Oorlog' (peanut sauce, mayo, and onions). The sight of people leaning forward to avoid sauce drips is a common urban vignette. For the best experience, look for a 'Frituur' that cuts its potatoes fresh daily.
