What is Apple-cut French fries?
Apple-cut French fries are made by cutting potatoes into short, thick pieces with softly rounded ends, then frying them. They have a crisp, textured outside and a tender, pale centre, much like chunky fries served in casual restaurants. They’re commonly served alongside burgers, grilled meats or sandwiches, with ketchup or another dipping sauce, and can also make a filling snack.
As a potato-based fried side, they are starchy and relatively energy-dense; a 100 g portion provides 312 calories. Pair them with a fresh salad or vegetables for a more balanced plate. If you’d like a lighter version at home, bake the pieces or cook them in an air fryer with less oil.

Frequently Asked Questions About Apple-cut French fries
What are apple-cut French fries?
Apple-cut French fries are potato fries cut into thick, short pieces with rounded ends. They are usually deep-fried, giving them a crisp exterior and a soft, fluffy middle.
Are apple-cut French fries made from apples?
No, apple-cut French fries are made from potatoes, not apples. “Apple-cut” describes the shape of the cut, which resembles a short slice or wedge of apple.
How are apple-cut French fries different from steak fries?
Apple-cut French fries are typically short pieces with rounded ends, while steak fries are usually longer, broad wedges. Both are thicker than shoestring fries, so their centers tend to stay soft.
How do you make apple-cut French fries crispy at home?
To make apple-cut French fries crispy, cut the potatoes evenly, rinse off surface starch, and dry them thoroughly before frying. Fry in small batches so the oil stays hot and the pieces do not steam.
Which potatoes are best for apple-cut French fries?
Starchy, floury potatoes work well for apple-cut French fries because they develop a fluffy center and crisp exterior. Waxy potatoes hold their shape, but can produce a firmer, less fluffy texture.
Can you cook apple-cut French fries in an air fryer?
Yes, apple-cut French fries can be cooked in an air fryer. Toss them with a little oil, arrange them in a single layer, and shake or turn them during cooking so they brown evenly.
Can you bake apple-cut French fries in the oven?
Yes, bake apple-cut French fries by lightly coating the pieces with oil and spreading them out on a tray. Leave space between them and turn them during baking so their surfaces brown rather than steam.
Do you need to soak potatoes before making apple-cut French fries?
No, soaking is not essential, but rinsing or briefly soaking cut potatoes can remove excess surface starch. Dry the pieces completely before frying; wet potatoes can splatter and are less likely to crisp well.
Can you leave the skin on apple-cut French fries?
Yes, apple-cut French fries can be made with the skin on. Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water before cutting, since dirt can remain on the rough surface.
How should you store and reheat leftover apple-cut French fries?
Cool leftover apple-cut French fries, refrigerate them in a covered container, and reheat them in an oven or air fryer to bring back some crispness. A microwave reheats them quickly but usually leaves them soft.
