Is there really going to be a French fry shortage? Here's the truth about this week’s most overblown food story

Or at least that’s what seemingly every media outlet from Gothamist to CNN is breathlessly reporting this week in some kind of twisted effort to turn Ore Ida into a new national currency. What’s the truth? What’s fiction? What’s French fries? Below, a rundown of what’s really happening with our favorite fried starch.
The people who know more about potatoes than anyone has a right to aren’t even that worried about it. Or as Frank Muir, the president of the Idaho Potato Commission, told the Times, “Don’t panic about the French fries. You can still go out and order them like you normally do.”There’s a reason reporters are freaking out about French fries and not, say, Ruffles sour cream and cheddar chips, the perfect chip.
