You've chosen five finalists as the DVlicious best in Westchester; now it's time to vote. First, though, grab some ketchup and pour over the following. Just don't blame us if you get hungry!

The Barley House, 665 Commerce St., Thornwood; (914) 495-3333 

Fry Type: The Barley House takes its fries seriously. They come in two styles: thin (the width of a No. 2 pencil. This is not, the owners emphasize, shoestring style, which is narrower) and waffle-cut. The potatoes used are Idaho, sweet, and Yukon gold, whose hardy yellow flesh stands up well to boiling, mashing and frying.

What Makes Them So Addictive: It’s all in the oil and the temperature used to do up the spuds. Barley’s uses a blend of olive and canola. The fancy cut waffle fries are harder to do, but hold onto seasonings (and ketchup) better.

A reminder: Voting ends Tuesday, May 31 at 5 p.m. You can vote multiple times, albeit once per day.
