A more uncommon side as compared to the usual french fries or sweet potato fries, these polenta fries consisted of deep fried strips of boiled cornmeal loaves that were coated in breadcrumbs. The inside of the polenta fries tasted similar to chunky mashed potatoes, but had a coarser grind and was more gritty. A sprinkling of parmesan cheese on top added more flavour, as did the tangy tomato salsa the polenta fries were served with.
