About two years ago I bought fries for the first time at De Patatzaak in Zuidhorn. I remember exactly what I said to my wife afterwards: 'this is one of the tastiest fries I have ever eaten'. Unfortunately, this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We have ordered three times now and tonight was the last time. The website states: "French fries prepared the way they should be. Fine stripes of potato cut from potatoes that come directly from the field. In this way we create the purest fries that exist. Made in a traditional way." The fries we got the last two times just came from the freezer and are the same fries as at any other snack bar. That has nothing to do with craft. For real artisanal fries, we'd better drive a bit, to Haarlem to be precise. The Frietkamer is located there and it sells real artisanal fries. The potatoes arrive there as whole potatoes and are made into fries in the store. In short, it's a shame that the fries are currently different than the website would lead you to believe. Tonight was our last order. Hopefully the real artisanal fries will come back again, then maybe we will too...
