Bold & Crispy Crinkle Cut Fries
What it is
These are frozen potato fries cut with a crinkle pattern. The crinkles create more surface area for crisping. They are made from potatoes and are intended to be cooked until golden brown and firm. The texture is designed to be satisfyingly crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. They are a popular side dish for many meals.
