crinkle cut
Zigzag food edge
Crinkle cut describes food sliced with a wavy, ridged edge rather than straight.
The term appears most often with potatoes—crinkle-cut fries have distinctive zigzag surfaces that hold more salt and create extra crunch.
A corrugated blade or specialized cutter produces the effect.
Carrots and other vegetables get the same treatment: crinkle-cut carrots for the veggie tray.
