Great Value Crinkle Cut Frozen Fries
What it is
These are frozen potato fries cut with a crinkle pattern. They are made from potatoes and are intended to be cooked before eating. The crinkle cut creates more surface area, which can lead to a crispier exterior when cooked. They come ready to prepare in your kitchen.
How people cook with it
Crinkle fries are a versatile side dish. They pair well with many main courses.
- As a side for burgers
- With fried chicken
- Alongside fish and chips
- As a base for loaded fries
To prepare these fries, you can bake them in an oven or cook them in an air fryer. For oven baking, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and cook according to package directions until golden brown and crispy. If using an air fryer, place them in the basket and cook until desired crispness is achieved, shaking occasionally. Ensure they are cooked through before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
The distinct wavy ridges of crinkle-cut fries differentiate them from straight-cut or wedge fries. This shape helps them hold toppings well and contributes to a satisfyingly crisp texture that many people prefer over smoother cuts.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a classic and crowd-pleasing potato side dish often choose these fries.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining uncooked fries in their original packaging or a freezer-safe bag. Keep them in the freezer to maintain quality and prevent freezer burn. Ensure the bag is sealed tightly to keep out air and moisture.
