Picking the perfect variety

We use varieties such as Pentland Dell, Russet Burbank, Ivory Russet, Innovator and Shepody potatoes which all make our world-famous fries. And as they’re bigger spuds, it means the fries we cut from them are long enough for you to nibble and dip.

How do we make our delicious fries?

We simply wash, peel, cut and prepare the potatoes before cooking. We then cook them in a blend of rapeseed and sunflower oil, adding a pinch of salt before serving.

Investing in sustainability

In the UK we launched our Sustainable Fries Fund in 2020 in partnership with McCain and committed to invest £1 million with British potato growers to improve the sustainability of their businesses with a focus on soil health and water efficiency. In 2023, through the fund, three innovation hubs across different growing regions were established to research regenerative growing practices in potato production.
