POTATO Corner isn’t your average fast food outlet, specialising in arguably the best part of the meal — fries.

The Blacktown Westpoint takeaway is a first for Australia after Potato Corner attracted a cult-like following in the Philippines.

Managing director Jan Flores set up shop on Level 1 on December 27 after he tasted the fries overseas.

“I was on holiday in the Philippines with my brother and he was raving about these fries,” Mr Flores said.

“After I had one, I wanted to share it with my community.”

The criss-cut ranch'o cheddar was especially more-ish.

Mr Flores was floored when they sold out of spuds on the opening day of business.

“We had close to 200kg worth of potatoes that day,” he said.

“Everyone loves fries — Australians on average eat 60kg of potatoes a year.”
