Use a spiral cutter to cut potatoes into curly fries, then rinse off excess starch and dry them thoroughly. Season and fry until golden. Drying the potatoes first helps prevent splattering and encourages a crisp finish.
Curly fries are cut with a spiral blade, which gives them their distinctive shape. Their ridged, twisted surface also holds seasoning and dips well, making them different in texture from straight-cut fries.
Curly fries are commonly seasoned with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, though the blend varies by brand or restaurant. For homemade fries, add seasoning while they are hot so it sticks to the surface.
Yes, curly fries cook well in an air fryer. Arrange them in a single layer, add a little oil if needed, and shake the basket during cooking for more even browning. Follow the package directions for frozen fries.
Bake frozen curly fries straight from the freezer rather than thawing them, and spread them in a single layer on a baking tray. Turn them partway through cooking and use the package directions for the temperature and timing.
To get crispy curly fries, remove excess moisture before cooking and avoid crowding the pan, tray, or air-fryer basket. Crowded fries release steam and can turn soft instead of browning evenly.
Reheat curly fries in an oven or air fryer to help restore their crisp texture. A microwave is convenient but tends to make the fries soft, so it is less suitable when crispness matters.
Curly fries go well with burgers, sandwiches, or grilled foods, and they are often served with ketchup or a creamy dip. Serve sauces on the side to help the fries stay crisp.
Curly fries are spiral-cut and often come with a seasoned coating, while regular fries are usually cut into straight sticks. The curly shape creates more ridged surface for seasoning and dips to cling to.
Many curly fries are cut from whole potatoes, but ingredients and manufacturing methods vary between products. Some are shaped from processed potato mixtures, so the ingredient list is the way to distinguish them.

Curly fries are spiral-cut potatoes that are seasoned and fried until crisp, a familiar American-style fast-food side. They’re served around the world alongside burgers, sandwiches or fried chicken, often with ketchup or another dipping sauce; they also make an easy sharing snack.
Their crisp, seasoned exterior gives way to a soft potato centre. They’re filling, but frying makes them more energy-dense than plain potatoes: a 100 g portion has 340 calories. Pair them with a fresh salad for a more balanced meal, or bake homemade curly fries with a little oil for a lighter take.
