Frozen thin-cut french fries

Frozen thin-cut french fries are a basic and very popular ingredient in fast and home cooking. They consist of peeled potatoes cut into thin, elongated strips, which are then pre-cooked and frozen to facilitate preparation at home or in food establishments.

Their origin dates back to European culinary tradition, especially in Belgium and France, where french fries became an iconic dish. Currently, frozen french fries are produced worldwide to offer a practical and uniform option for quick cooking in a fryer, oven, or pan.

Among their main properties, their convenience and versatility stand out, as being pre-cooked allows for quick frying, resulting in a crispy texture on the outside and soft on the inside. They also provide carbohydrates as an energy source and can accompany a wide variety of dishes, from burgers to fish and salads.

In different Latin American countries, thin-cut french fries may be known by synonyms such as papas a la francesa, papas a la inglesa, or simply thin french fries. Despite regional differences in the name, they always refer to this specific preparation of potatoes cut into thin strips and fried.
