Waffle fries are a type of french fry that are characterized by their distinctive waffle or lattice shape. They are typically made from peeled potatoes that are cut into a grid pattern using a specialized waffle-cut slicer or mandoline. The cut potatoes are then deep-fried until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Waffle fries are a popular side dish or snack, often served with burgers, sandwiches, or as a standalone appetizer. They are sometimes seasoned with salt, pepper, or other spices, and can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or aioli.
