The New Menu Signatures Staycrisp Thin Skin-on Fries and Staycrips Thin Cut Fries have been developed with the growing delivery and takeaway market in mind.
Catherine Rigg, senior product manager at McCain Foods, said: “We wanted to be sure that we were providing the best fries in the market so we conducted blind taste tests with both consumers and operators and found that the Staycrisp Fries were widely preferred versus the competition.
“What is so special about Staycrisp is that both fries deliver real potato flavour that holds. With the launch of new Staycrisp Fries, it’s never been easier to serve great tasting, hot and crisp fries that will be remembered, both in house and for takeaway, providing a point of difference against competitors.”
The new range was launched with a Fry Off with some of the biggest names in the street food market, including Bell & Brisket, Burger Bear and White Men Can’t Jerk, who were challenged to create the best topping for the fries.
Ed Jones, founder of smashed burger concept, Slap & Pickle, said: “They are 100% better than the competitor product that I was using. When I first tried them I noticed the difference immediately. The taste, texture and size is spot on.”
James Tabor, founder of Dogtown London, added: “We work in flavour. We’re not trying to be all things to all men, or women. We want to offer the best hot dog, the best burger, or the best fries. You can’t do that unless you have a focused menu where you are confident in all of the ingredients. I’ve been very impressed by McCain Staycrisp Fries.”
