Any fry from Lamb Weston should be great, as most fast food franchise fries probably originally came from them anyway. Ideally it should be a superior product as you're cutting out the middleman, right? I've seen four different varieties of frozen grocery fries with the Lamb Weston name on them - Crinkle Cut, Hand Cut, Thick Cut Hash Browns, and Diced Hash Browns, the last two obviously breakfast selections. They also have Steak Cut, Shoestring, and Potato Puffs.
I picked up a bag of the Super Crispy Crinkle Cut Fries. There's a giant Grown in Idaho symbol on the bag that also proclaims 100% Real Potatoes. Upon opening the bag I was surprised to see natural cut fries. The skin-on crinkle cut French fry is indeed a rare beast. And even though I have become accustomed to almost exclusively air-fried fries, I put a serving of these babies on a pan to bake, per their official cooking instructions.
The fries needed a minute or so more cook time than the directions indicated, but in any case they came out great, super crispy as promised, hot and soft inside. I really enjoyed them, and they were just as good when air-fried. Thumbs up.
