What Are Coated Fries For Restaurant Consumption?

Coated fries for restaurant consumption are pre-prepared potato chips that have been frozen for convenience. Unlike regular chips, these fries are coated with a thin layer of ingredients such as potato starch, tapioca starch, or rice flour before freezing. This coating crisps up during cooking, resulting in a crunchier texture compared to traditional fries. While most coated fries are intended for frying, some varieties can also be oven-cooked. The coating helps retain the fries’ crispiness and enhances their overall taste and texture, providing diners with a more satisfying culinary experience.
