Ore-Ida Extra Crispy Seasoned Crinkles
What it is
These are frozen potato fries that have been cut into a crinkle shape and coated with a savory seasoning blend. The crinkle cut creates extra surface area, which helps them achieve a crispier texture when cooked. The seasoning adds a distinct flavor profile beyond plain potato. They are designed for easy preparation in a home kitchen.
How people cook with it
These seasoned fries are a versatile side dish that pairs well with many meals. They can be enjoyed as a standalone snack or as a component of a larger meal.

- Enjoy as a snack
- Add to loaded fries
To prepare, spread the frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. For best results, bake in a preheated oven at a temperature recommended on the packaging. Turn the fries halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping and browning on all sides. They are ready when they are golden brown and have a satisfying crunch. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet, as this can lead to steaming rather than crisping.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular french fries, the crinkle cut offers more surface area for crisping. The added seasoning provides a flavor boost that plain fries lack, making them a more flavorful option right out of the bag. They are designed to be extra crispy, which is a key textural difference.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
After opening the bag, reseal it tightly to prevent freezer burn. Store the remaining fries in the freezer. It is best to use them within a reasonable timeframe for optimal quality and texture. Keep them away from moisture.
