They are made from potatoes and are designed to be cooked in an oven or air fryer. These fries are cut in a specific shape, which contributes to their texture when cooked. They come in a frozen state, ready for preparation.

To prepare Chef Frites, preheat your oven or air fryer according to the package directions. Spread the frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding the cooking surface, as this can lead to uneven cooking and less crispiness. Cook for the recommended time, flipping them halfway through if necessary, until they are golden brown and crispy. They are best served immediately after cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Chef Frites are distinct from other frozen fries due to their specific cut and the potato variety used. This combination aims to achieve a particular balance of crispy exterior and fluffy interior. Other fries might have different cuts, such as shoestring or steak fries, which will affect their cooking time and final texture.
