What are Arby\u2019s Crinkle Cut Fries?<\/h3>\n

Arby\u2019s new permanent fries are exactly as they sound — an \u201c\u2026accordion-style\u201d deep-fried spud offering! The website touts the \u201c\u2026groves for maximum crispiness, lightly seasoned with fine kosher salt.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Editor’s Note: I’m pretty sure “groves” is supposed to be “grooves.” But that’s really how it’s spelled on Arby’s website. I added the screenshot below for proof.)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

How are they?<\/h3>\n

\"Arby<\/p>\n

Crinkle cut fries are near and dear to my heart. They remind me of elementary school lunches when the best part of my day was lunchtime. These were exactly like a blast from the past – limp, slightly undercooked, but decently salted.<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

\"Arby<\/p>\n

I tested these head-to-head with crinkle cut fries from the grocery store. The air fried Ore-Ida ones I made were better. They were golden brown and actually had more crispness. <\/p>\n

\"Arby<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Arby\u2019s is pretty serious about its mediocre crinkle cut fry offering. The fast food chain even made a TV commercial for it<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

I ate every single one of those limp, slightly undercooked, but decently salted fries, but they\u2019re not better than frozen crinkle cut fries found at your local grocery store. <\/p>\n

Maybe one day Arby’s will offer a mixed spuds basket with its curlies, crinkle, and cakes – kind of like mixing all the sodas together. But I wouldn\u2019t get the crinkle fries on their own. I’ll stick with the curlies!<\/p>\n
