Eater Austin readers recommended Parkside's "delicious" and "awesome" fries (tossed with a "lovely gremolata") more than any other restaurant in Austin.

Hopfields' hand-cut French fries have a decidedly continental flavor, served with rich aïoli.

Garlic lovers rave about Black Star Coop's wide-cut, flavorful chips.

Local chain P. Terry's is pretty incredible for a fast food joint: they don't have any freezers. Which means their thin-cut fries are always fresh.

Korean-Mexican truck Chi'Lantro's kimchi fries pile everything that's great about Austin food truck culture (fusion foods, experimental menus, unabashed decadence) in one delicious serving of potatoes. Follow Chi'Lantro on Twitter to find out where they'll be next.

Eater readers love the patate fritte at Enoteca Vespaio, servied with grana padano and parsley or garlic, with a lemon aioli for dipping.

Second Bar + Kitchen's truffle fries pack a truffle punch without overwhelming the palate, a common offense committed by those who would truffle up the humble potato.

Trace may be the W Hotel's upscale dining destination, but Eater readers keep going back for the unassuming French fries.
