Idaho's Boise Fry Company is a beloved fast-food joint, where customers can choose from six kinds of potatoes and five different cuts, nine dipping sauces, and a variety of seasonings.

On a visit during a trip to Boise, I ordered the russet potato as homestyle fries, gold potato curly fries, red potato po' balls, purple shoestring fries, as well as sweet potato and yam fries, and tried all the sauces.

The yam fries were my favorite, closely followed by the sweet potato fries, which I enjoyed with the garlic aioli and jalapeño ranch sauces. My only regret was skipping seasoning as I learned later that fries came unsalted.

When you hear Idaho, you probably think of potatoes. You can even sleep inside one there!

So it didn't come as a huge surprise to me, on a recent trip to Boise, when the Boise Fry Company kept coming up as the city's most beloved fast-food spot.

As its name implies, the Boise Fry Company is all about fries — its slogan is even "Burgers on the side." The menu has six different kinds of potatoes to choose from, as well as five different cuts, like curly or shoestring. It also has a whopping nine different homemade dipping sauces and a variety of seasonings.

Never one to back away from a challenge, I visited the Boise Fry Company and tried every potato, cut, and sauce for the ultimate taste test.
