| - If you live in Pittsburgh, you have to visit Kennywood and you have to eat at The Potato Patch at LEAST once. It's just one of our rules. But why you'd stop at just once I don't know, because these fries are great! They're thick-cut, fresh, and will be piping hot and covered in the toppings you want when they're served - so as far as I'm concerned they're everything you'd want from a really good batch of fries.
It's not uncommon to see a line as you walk by The Potato Patch, but usually it moves very quickly so don't let it scare you off! If you're ready for lunch, just step in behind someone and start thinking about what you want on your hand cut fries. I usually just go for cheese and gravy and add some ketchup on the side, but they'll also add on some vinegar and a few other ingredients if you want them. Once you order you'll just have to wait briefly for the staff to hand you your container of fries and a fork, and from there, it's chow time! There's some seating available right next to the stand, although depending on the crowd that day you may have to eat while standing.
A few other notes from me about the Potato Patch: they just serve a standard sized order, so depending on how hungry you are you may want to share it with a friend. (Or not!) I also know from experience that sometimes the gravy isn't particularly thick, resulting in most of it sliding to the bottom of the bin. Personally I'm fine with this, since it means the last few bites of fries are soaked in gravy and it's absolutely delicious, but it may be something to keep in mind based on personal taste.
Overall though, 2 big thumbs up from this gal! Now when do I get to go back to Kennywood and get more of these fries?
