French Fries

What is it?

Natural-cut potatoes with the skin left on, these fries are cut medium-thick and fried until the outside firms up while the center stays soft. Sea salt is added after frying, so the seasoning sits on the surface instead of soaking in. Each piece carries a slightly different shape since they're cut from whole potatoes rather than extruded into uniform sticks. Compared with the thinner fries Wendy's used before 2010, this version is a little more rustic in look and texture. It's the standard side for combo meals and also serves as the base for loaded fry variations across the menu.
