Accordion-Style Crinkle Fries

Arby's Has Launched New Crinkle Fries Nationwide

— March 30, 2021 — Lifestyle
One of Arby's best-known products is its Curly Fries and now the brand has a new fry for fans to fall in love with: Crinkle Fries.

Arby's originally began testing the new Crinkle Fries back in December of 2020. After finding success with the new product, Arby's has announced the launch of Crinkle Fries at locations nationwide. The new side dish is described as French fries seasoned with fine kosher salt and cut with accordion-style groves for maximum crispiness.

The new fries pair perfectly with the return of another Arby's favorite, the Spicy Greek Gyro. For its 2021 return, the Spicy Greek Gyro now features more spicy sauce, along with Greek gyro meat, tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, and Greek seasoning, all served on warm flatbread.
