curly fry

Twisted fried potato

A curly fry is a French fry that has been cut in a spiral or corkscrew shape before frying, giving it more surface area for crispiness and a distinctive appearance.

Curly fries are typically seasoned with a spiced coating that gives them an orange-red color and peppery flavor.

They're a popular alternative to straight-cut fries at fast food restaurants and casual dining spots.

I'll have the burger with curly fries instead of regular.
