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.
All Lutosa coating - whether flavoured or not - are gluen-free, i.e. they do not contain wheat or derivatives of wheat. This makes them well-suited for people who suffer from celiac disease and for those who prefer to stick to a gluten-free diet.
Yes, hand-cut coated fries for restaurants are available. While many coated fries are machine-cut for consistency, we also offer hand-cut options like our Coated Belgian Fries. These fries, available with or without the skin, are cut by hand to provide a more authentic and rustic appearance. Perfect for restaurant owners and caterers looking to offer high-quality fries with a homemade feel, these hand-cut coated fries offer convenience without sacrificing authenticity.
