Crinkle-cutting

Crinkle-cutting is slicing that leaves a corrugated surface. This is done with corrugated knives or mandoline blades.

Crinkle-cut French fries

Crinkle-cut potato chips are sometimes called ruffled, by analogy with a ruffle in sewing. French fries or sweet potato fries may also be crinkle-cut, and may be called "wavy fries".

If the potato is turned 90° between cuts, the result is waffle fries. Potato chips with a waffle fry cut, however, are more properly characterized as "lattice cut" chips.

Waffle fries
Cross-cut waffle fries with a hamburger

Pommes gaufrettes, grid fries, waffle fries, or criss-cross fries are fries obtained by quarter-turning the potato before each pass over the corrugated blade of a mandoline and deep-frying.[1]

They have a surface area comparable to shoestring fries allowing them to be made very crunchy.

gollark: ARM is catching up, but it's... basically CISC now.
gollark: I mean, arguably CISC is faster because the big CPU companies do CISC and optimize it more.
gollark: Not *necessarily*.
