Which brand of frozen fries are the best?

Q: Which company makes the best fries?

1. Wendys. The honor of the best overall french fry goes to Wendys. These fries were made with unpeeled potatoes, so there was a little bit of potato skin at the end of each fry for texture.

Q: What frozen French fries are most like Mcdonalds?

After doing a few taste tests and research, Ive concluded that this brand, Farmland Premium ShoeString Fries has 99% similarities to MacDonalds, which is understandable because I doubt Macs will allow them to replicate the recipe 100%.

Q: Why are Nathans fries so good?

The old ones had that real potato taste. Shea, the Nathans spokesman, is himself a native of Maine. He promised that the signature characteristic of the Nathans fry would not be altered. The reason that Nathans French fries are the best is because of the special crinkle cut, he said.

Opinions on French fries can get heated — they’re one of the few side dishes that can dictate which fast food drive-through you frequent or restaurant you choose for dinner. And the debate for which fried, crispy slice of potato extends to at-home versions, too, specifically when picking a bag from the frozen section. We decided to ask Food Network staffers which frozen French fries reign supreme — and the answers were vaster than we expected. Whether you love a crunchy fry or are all about flavor, there is a perfect option for you.

Alexia’s Sweet Potato Fries

$2.88

Walmart

My family’s favorite frozen French fries are Alexia’s sweet potato fries. I always have a bag in the freezer and we usually have them once a week with dinner. They’re fully cooked (you just heat and serve), which is perfect for busy weeknights. My husband and I love that they’re the perfect combo of sweet and salty, and my picky toddler actually eats them, too. (It’s the only way I can get him to eat sweet potatoes!)

Ore-Ida Crispers

$3.50

Mercato

Ore-Ida’s Crispers are by far the best crispy frozen fry out there. I bake the fries in the oven for three minutes longer than the bag suggests, and they come out perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Plus, the ridged edges make them great for dipping in ketchup or ranch since it holds more of the sauce. Crispers can sometimes be hard to find in the grocery store, but when you do they’re worth buying a bag or two.

These fries are almost like a cross between a potato skin and a French fry. They have amazing potato flavor and get super crispy on the outside without ever tasting greasy.

Ore-Ida Golden Fries French Fried Frozen Potatoes

$3.29

Instacart

Ore-Ida are my go-to fries. It’s just tradition for frozen French fries, and they improved their production process so that they are easier to cook and turn out crunchier than ever. Sometimes I just need a handful of fries to finish a dish (like lomo saltado) or a meal, and the resealable bag makes it so convenient.

Alexia Seasoned, Waffle Cut Sweet Potato Fries

$4.09

Insta Cart

When it comes to picking a favorite style of French fries, I find myself torn between a few options (after all, I’m a fan of French fries in all forms). But, when a waffle fry is well-seasoned and made from sweet potatoes, it’s hard to beat. These fries crisp up nicely and have great flavor — which are both equally essential, in my opinion.

Which company makes the best fries?

Are frozen fries worth it?

Frozen fries are still fried! Even worse, many brands use trans fats and palm oil which aren't ideal for heart health. While fries do need a sprinkle of salt, many bagged brands have at least 15% of the daily recommendation of sodium per serving.
