Crinkle-Cut Fries

Those ridges tell you what kind of fry you’re getting before the first bite. Crinkle-cuts have an old-school feel, a sturdy potato center and enough surface texture to keep every bite interesting. They can go crispy without becoming tiny potato sticks, which gives them a strong case against shoestring fries. But waffle fries bring even more texture, and curly fries bring more personality. Crinkle-cut isn’t the flashy pick. That might be exactly why its defenders ride so hard for it. Are the ridges enough to take the whole basket?
