What it is

How people cook with it
These potato sticks are a versatile addition to many meals and snacks. They can be used to add texture and flavor.
- Topping for casseroles
- Crunchy salad garnish
- Snack on their own
- Side dish accompaniment
French's Potato Sticks are ready to eat straight from the package. They are commonly sprinkled over hot dishes like green bean casserole or tuna noodle casserole during the last few minutes of baking. This allows them to heat through and become even more fragrant while retaining their signature crispness. They can also be used as a crunchy topping for soups or as a flavorful element in layered salads. For a simple snack, they are perfect to enjoy by the handful.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike potato chips, which are often flatter and come in various shapes, potato sticks are typically thin and uniform in their rod-like form. This shape contributes to a different kind of crunch. They also tend to be saltier and have a more concentrated potato flavor than some flavored chips.
Who it is for
Home cooks and busy individuals often reach for these potato sticks to enhance their meals and snacks.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining French's Potato Sticks fresh and crisp, ensure the original packaging is sealed tightly after opening. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper sealing prevents them from absorbing humidity, which can lead to a loss of their desirable crunch.
