Seasoned Waffle Fries FAQs
How to cut waffle fries?
Cutting waffle fries requires a crinkle-cut slicer or mandoline with a waffle blade. Follow these steps:
1. Select the Right Potato: Use firm potatoes for the best texture. McCain's farm grown potatoes exude this texture with love and care for our agricultural process.
2. Use a Mandoline Slicer: Set your mandoline to the waffle or crinkle-cut setting.
3. Slice with a Quarter-Turn Technique: Slice the potato downward, then rotate it 90 degrees before slicing again. Repeat this process for each cut to create the signature waffle pattern.
4. Adjust Thickness as Needed: Aim for slices about ¼-inch thick for crispy fries or thicker for a softer bite.
5. Soak and Dry: Soak the cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat them dry before frying or baking.
Can I make waffle fries at home without a mandoline slicer?
- While a mandoline with a waffle or crinkle-cut blade simplifies the process, you can manually cut waffle fries using a sharp knife and a steady hand. However, achieving uniform thickness and the classic waffle pattern may be more challenging. To create the criss-cross pattern, stack a few slices together and slice them diagonally in the opposite direction. It may take a bit of practice but, with some patience, great results are sure to come.
Can I season frozen waffle fries before cooking?
Yes, you can season frozen waffle fries before cooking to enhance their flavor profile. Adding some touches of garlic powder, paprika, or seasoned salt before baking or air frying can add a personal touch to your snack. When baking, a little oil can help the seasonings stick and promote a bolder crunch. When using an air fryer or deep fryer, season right after cooking while these fries are still hot to help the flavors stick and pair well.
