What it is
These are pre-cut and frozen potato strips, ready for cooking. They are designed to achieve a crispy exterior and a tender interior when prepared. The potatoes are typically blanched and then flash-frozen to preserve their texture and flavor. This product offers a convenient way to enjoy french fries at home without starting from raw potatoes.
