What are frozen fries extra crisp made from?

At Lutosa, our commitment to creating extra crispy frozen fries starts with premium-quality potatoes and specialized starches.

For our renowned X-Tra Crispy range and other products, the secret to their crispiness lies in the unique coating applied to each chip. We blend modified potato starch with rice flour and tapioca starches, carefully adjusting the proportions for different product lines. This precise combination ensures that when fried, the chips achieve an even golden crispiness on the outside while maintaining a fluffy interior, delivering a delightful texture with every bite.

The crispy exterior of these fries provides a delightful mouthfeel that many consumers prefer, contributing to their reputation as a tasty choice for any meal.

What gives some frozen fries extra crisp and crunch?

The exceptional crunch found in our frozen fries extra crisp is the result of two key factors. Firstly, our chips are coated with a special blend of starchy ingredients after being cut, forming a layer that crisps up quickly when fried. This outer coating provides the initial crunch that consumers love. Secondly, our chips undergo a partial frying process before freezing. This pre-frying step ensures that the coating remains intact during storage, allowing for an evenly crispy texture to develop when the chips are eventually cooked. Not only does this process enhance the crunchiness of our fries, but it also reduces preparation time in professional kitchens, making them a convenient choice for busy chefs.
