crinkle-cut fries

Crinkle-cut fries are potato fries that are sliced with a wavy or ridged pattern, creating a zigzag shape. This unique cut is achieved using a special crinkle cutter blade during slicing. The ridges increase the surface area, allowing them to become crispier when cooked and helping condiments stay on better. They are typically deep-fried or baked, resulting in a crispy exterior and soft interior. Popular in fast food and casual dining, crinkle-cut fries are valued for their visual appeal and the added texture they provide compared to standard straight-cut fries.
