context_section_description: In Finland, french fries (ranskalaiset perunat) are colloquially known just as ranskalaiset (literally, "the French"). A traditional way of serving accompanied fries at food carts (grilli) is makkaraperunat (literally, "sausage potatoes"), a dish consisting of deep-fried slices of sausage and crinkle-cut fries mixed together and usually served in either a paper or styrofoam tray. The dish probably originated in the early 1960s. Today, makkaraperunat is mainly considered a late-night snack and is usually not served outside of food carts or gas stations.
  At fast food chains such as McDonald's, Burger King or the indigenous Hesburger, ketchup is always provided. Some chains also offer complimentary Finnish or American style mustard as well as packets of grillimauste, a type of barbecue rub. In kebab shops, fries are often partly or entirely covered in tomato-based and/or yoghurt-based kebab sauces and döner kebab strips. French fries are also used as sides for hamburgers, steaks and deep-fried meats at the ubiquitous American style restaurants and gastropubs in Finland. Crinkle-cut fries are seen as old-fashioned and associated with food carts or home-cooking, while straight-cut fries are seen as more modern.
