These Are The World's Most ICONIC Fast Food Side Dishes

Cajun Style fries

One of the most popular items on the Five Guys menu, these fresh, hand-cut fries are cooked 'boardwalk-style', meaning they’re first blanched in cold water before taking a dip in the deep fat fryer.

Tater tots

Tossed in olive oil, rosemary and garlic, Smashburger tater tots make a tasty alternative to a standard portion of fries.

Mozzarella dippers

These cheesy sticks are coated in a golden, crispy crumb, come with a salsa dip and are available in portions of three or nine.

Onion rings

Burger King first introduced onion rings to its menu in the early 1970s, and the item has commanded a dedicated fan base ever since.

Baked beans

KFC’s baked beans are seasoned with dash of Kentucky BBQ sauce, and it’s fair to say fans can’t get enough. Marketed as a 'family favourite', this item is notoriously elusive and can be hard to find at certain KFC locations.

Baked potato

Believed to be the only major fast food chain to sell baked potatoes as a side, Wendy’s shifts an impressive one million baked spuds every week.

Mac ‘n’ cheese

This classic side features a rich and creamy sauce made from Parmesan, Cheddar and romano cheeses. The mix is then baked in-house, until a crispy layer forms on top.

Chilli Cheese Bites

This side dish makes an appearance every few months and fans go wild every time – there’s even a petition to make them a permanent menu item.
