Premium Feature
Waffle fries offer a satisfying blend of savory potato flavor and a unique crispy texture. The seasoning typically enhances the natural potato taste.
The primary flavor is that of potato, often enhanced with salt, pepper, and sometimes garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or other spices. The waffle cut increases the surface area, leading to a greater degree of crispness compared to standard fries. The exterior boasts a noticeable crunch, while the interior remains soft and slightly fluffy. The overall flavor profile leans towards savory, with the seasoning complementing rather than overpowering the potato taste.
Premium Feature
Potato Selection
Russet potatoes are generally preferred due to their high starch content, which contributes to a fluffy interior and crispy exterior.
Double Frying
For extra crispness, consider double frying the fries. Fry them once at a lower temperature to cook the inside, then again at a higher temperature to achieve a golden-brown exterior.
Seasoning
Season immediately after frying while the fries are still hot to ensure the seasoning adheres properly. Experiment with different spice blends to find your favorite flavor combination.
Dipping Sauces
Waffle fries pair well with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, or honey mustard.
