What it is
These are frozen potato fries cut with a crinkle pattern. They are made from potatoes and have a coating that helps them crisp up when cooked. They are a convenient side dish that comes ready to prepare in your kitchen. The crinkle cut shape holds seasoning well and provides a different texture compared to smooth-cut fries.

To prepare these fries, you can bake them in your oven or cook them in an air fryer. For oven baking, spread the frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake according to package directions until they are golden brown and crispy. If using an air fryer, place the fries in the basket and cook until they reach your desired crispness, shaking the basket occasionally for even cooking. They are best served hot.

The defining feature of crinkle cut fries is their wavy surface. This shape creates more surface area, which can lead to extra crispiness and allows them to hold onto toppings or seasonings more effectively than smooth-cut fries. They also offer a distinct mouthfeel.
