Crinkle Cut French Fry FAQs

A:

The key differences come down to shape, texture, and how they complement your meals.
 

  • Shape: crinkle cut fries have signature wavy ridges, while straight fries are smooth and uniform. 

  • Texture: the ridges on crinkle cuts help hold seasoning and dips better and create a layered bite. Straight cut fries provide a smooth, consistently crisp surface that evenly distributes  fry and dip flavor.  

A:

Crinkle fries are a flavor-lover’s dream — the wavy surface allows this fry type to grab hold of numerous kinds of seasonings after they have been cooked. Some top seasoning combos to try: 

  • Savory Kick: garlic and onion powder with a touch of paprika 

  • Spicy: Cajun, chili powder, or cayenne 

  • Herby: rosemary, thyme, or Italian seasoning 

  • Fresh Finish: chopped chives or parsley with a sprinkle of parmesan 

Try mixing and matching based on your mood or meal. The extra surface area of crinkle fries allows them to be compatible with numerous seasoning combinations.  

A:

The iconic crinkle shape’s purpose is all about enhancing flavor, texture, and versatile use. Crinkle cutters slice fries into ridged waves, giving each fry: 

  • More surface area for extra amounts of our signature, golden-brown texture 

  • Better grip on seasonings, sauces, and dips 

  • A fun balance of diverse, crispy textures and warm centers in every bite 

  • Strong structure - thicker fry formations create sturdier shapes that hold up better to dips, sauces and gravy. 

A:

For maximum crispiness, preheat your oven or air fryer, spread the fries in a single layer, and avoid overcrowding the pan or air fryer basket.
