August 12 Julienne Fries Day

On August 12, each year Julienne Fries Day is observed on. Julienne fries are a type of French fries that are thinner than regular fries. They are sometimes referred to as shoestring fries.
Julienne is a culinary knife cut in which food items are cut into long thin strips. When dealing with potatoes, it can be referred to as alumette. The word “alumette” is translated from French as “matchstick”, hence one more name, the matchstick cut. The measurement for julienne is approximately 1/8 inch x 1/8 inch x 1-2 inches.

Julienning is probably the most popular method of preparing French fries, at least in fast food restaurants. The easiest way to julienne potatoes at home is to use a hand-held mandolin fitted with a fine julienne blade. Shoestring fries can be made with both regular potatoes and sweet potatoes.
On this day Cook some shoestring fries at home. You can serve them with delicious truffle aioli to give the dish a new shade of taste.
