To prepare, spread the seasoned curly fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. They are best cooked in an oven or air fryer to achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior. Follow the package directions for optimal cooking time and temperature, as these can vary. Ensure they are heated through before serving. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet, as this can lead to uneven cooking and less crispiness.

Compared to traditional straight-cut fries, these curly fries offer a unique texture and shape. The pre-applied seasoning provides a distinct flavor profile that may differ from fries seasoned after cooking. Their spiral form can also affect how they crisp up during preparation.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any unused fries in a sealed container or resealable bag in the refrigerator. It is best to use them within a few days to maintain their quality and prevent them from becoming stale or losing their crispness.
