Perfect Potato Is Bringing Fries & Poutine To 5th Avenue

Fries, fries, and more fries are coming soon to 5th Avenue.

Signage recently went up at 172 5th Avenue, between Degraw and Sackett, for Perfect Potato, a gourmet Belgian fries joint that’s currently under construction, as was first noted by Here’s Park Slope.

DNAinfo spoke with the owner, Stephanie Seitman, who explains the space will be pretty small — no seating, just room to nibble at counters — and says you’ll be able to choose from 20 kinds of sauces, six kinds of poutine (fries with gravy and cheese curds, traditionally), and baked potatoes, and you can wash all that delicious starch down with a milkshake.

“It’s fun to be bringing something new to the neighborhood,” Seitman told us today.

So what do you think? With the loss of Corner Burger, which had some decadent poutine, is this something that could do well on 5th Avenue?
