How people cook with it
Crinkle cut fries are a versatile addition to any meal. They pair well with a wide range of main courses.
- As a side for burgers
- With fried chicken
- Alongside fish and chips
- As a snack with dipping sauces
To prepare these frozen fries, you can bake them in an oven preheated to a specific temperature, typically around 400-425 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread the frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. For extra crispiness, you can add a small amount of oil. They will usually bake for about 20-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Alternatively, they can be cooked in an air fryer or deep fryer according to package directions for a faster, crispier result. Season them with salt or your favorite spices after cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
The distinctive crinkle cut differentiates these fries from straight-cut varieties. This wavy shape creates more surface area, which can lead to a crispier texture and allows them to capture more of your favorite seasonings and dips. The ridges also give them a unique mouthfeel compared to smoother cuts.

How to keep the rest
Keep any remaining frozen fries in their original packaging or an airtight freezer bag. Ensure the bag is sealed tightly to prevent freezer burn and maintain their quality. Store them in the freezer until ready to cook. Proper storage ensures they remain fresh and flavorful for future use.
