Many home cooks shy away from frozen fries, often dismissing them as inferior. However, there's a secret weapon hidden in your supermarket: frozen French fries can deliver superior consistency and taste. Renowned chef Thomas Keller has stated that many restaurants rely on frozen fries for their consistent quality—an essential aspect of high-volume kitchens.
Through extensive testing, one brand stood out: Lamb Weston. With just the right seasoning and crunch, Lamb Weston fries provide that perfect balance of texture. While Orida is a common alternative, it doesn't quite match the flavor profile and crunchiness of Lamb Weston, but it’s still a good substitute when needed.
