Not everyone has as intense of a French fry obsession as Jennifer Lawrence, but we all should. Plain French fries are already pretty damn tasty, but adding in salt, pepper, thyme and Parmesan will trick everyone think you’re serving them a gourmet meal. In case you needed any more convincing, here are five reasons from J. Law herself on why you should drop everything and make these fancy fries right now. 

 

1. They will make you remember why you love food in the first place.
