Nathan's Jumbo Crinkle Cut French Fries
What it is
These are thick-cut potato fries with a distinctive wavy edge. They are made from potatoes and fried to a golden crisp. The crinkle cut helps them hold onto toppings and sauces better than straight-cut fries. They are a popular frozen side dish that can be prepared in a variety of ways.
How people cook with it
These fries are a versatile addition to many meals. They are excellent as a standalone snack or as a side dish.
- Serve with burgers
- Dip in ketchup
- Top with cheese
- Enjoy as a snack
To prepare these fries, you can bake them in an oven or cook them in an air fryer. For oven baking, spread the frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through the cooking time. If using an air fryer, place the fries in the basket and cook until they reach your desired crispness, shaking the basket occasionally to ensure even cooking. They are best served immediately after cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
The crinkle cut distinguishes these fries from standard shoestring or straight-cut varieties. This shape creates more surface area and pockets, which can lead to a crispier exterior and better sauce adhesion. The jumbo size also means they are thicker and have a more substantial potato flavor.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a classic and satisfying potato side dish will appreciate these fries.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any remaining uncooked fries in the original bag or an airtight container in the freezer. Ensure the bag is sealed tightly to prevent freezer burn and maintain quality. They should be kept frozen until ready to cook.
