What it is

How people cook with it
These potato crowns are a versatile addition to many meals. They pair well with a variety of main dishes and can also serve as a standalone snack.

To prepare Ore Ida Crispy Crowns, preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the packaging, typically around 400-425°F (200-220°C). Spread the frozen crowns in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for the recommended time, usually 18-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even crisping. They are ready when they are golden brown and crispy. For an air fryer, follow the specific instructions for that appliance, which usually involves a shorter cooking time at a similar temperature.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional french fries or tater tots, Crispy Crowns have a distinct shape that offers a unique texture. The shredded potato interior combined with the crispy exterior provides a delightful contrast. Their crown shape also makes them visually appealing and fun to eat.
