Fareway Crinkle Fries
What it is
These are frozen potato fries cut with a crinkle blade. The wavy edges create more surface area compared to smooth-cut fries. This characteristic helps them crisp up nicely when cooked. They are made from potatoes and are a popular side dish or snack option. The fries come pre-cut and ready for preparation, offering convenience for home cooks.

To prepare, preheat your oven or air fryer according to package directions. Spread the frozen crinkle fries in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Bake or air fry until golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through for even cooking. They can also be deep-fried for a classic restaurant-style result. Ensure they are cooked through before serving to achieve the best texture and flavor.
