waffle fries

Crosshatched fried potatoes

Waffle fries are French fries cut with a crisscross lattice pattern, creating a grid of holes through each slice.

The pattern comes from rotating the potato between cuts on a ridged blade.

The texture offers more surface area for crispness and more pockets for holding dipping sauces: Chick-fil-A is famous for their waffle fries.
