What it is
These are frozen potato fries cut with a crinkle pattern. The wavy edges create more surface area, which helps them get extra crispy when cooked. They are made from potatoes and are a popular side dish or snack. The crinkle cut is a classic style for french fries, offering a good balance of fluffy interior and crisp exterior.

To prepare, you can bake them in an oven or cook them in an air fryer. For oven baking, spread the frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and cook according to package directions until golden brown and crisp. In an air fryer, cook them in batches, shaking the basket periodically for even browning. They are best served hot, straight from the oven or air fryer, for maximum crispness. You can season them with salt or other spices after cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to straight-cut fries, the crinkle cut's wavy surface offers more nooks and crannies. This design helps them achieve a superior crispiness and hold onto seasonings or dips better. The texture can also be perceived as more substantial than thinner cuts.

How to keep the rest
After opening the bag, reseal it tightly to prevent freezer burn. Store the remaining fries in your freezer. It is best to use them within a reasonable timeframe to maintain their quality and texture. Keep them in a cold, dry place within the freezer.
