Building on the success of [True Crisp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-story-foods)'d Air-Fried Chicken, True Food partnered with Arizona-based fry experts [Frites Street](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frites-artois) to introduce True Crisp'd Air-Fried French Fries. Prepared with Clearwater potatoes that get golden and crispy on the outside and stay light and fluffy on the inside, these True Crisp'd Air-Fried French Fries keep it simple with just four ingredients: high-oleic non-GMO palm oil, vinegar, and salt. "After six months of testing, we landed on a fry that's just as good, if not better, than its deep-fried counterpart," said Matthew Padilla, Head of Culinary at [True Food Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-crispd-chicken).

True Crisp'd Air-Fried French Fries are available in two styles: Traditional Sea Salt or Tuscan Dusted, a blend of kale flakes, garlic powder, Aleppo pepper, and parmesan.
