will hardly exceed Mercadona the media attention that it unleashed a few months ago with the controversial packaged eggs, but we already know that the Valencian chain does not stop renew your catalog of products, adapting to the supposed demands of the public. It is not surprising that one of its latest novelties is some French fries that stand out for being perfect for cooking in the air fryer, although the others are also more than suitable.
The new release appears prominently in the company’s online store in almost all of Spain and its sighting has also already been seen in different regions through social networks. The official name of the product is “deep frozen lambweston crisps with skin“, and are part of the supermarket chain’s group of pre-cooked frozen potatoes. Curiously, it is the only variety with the term “fries” in its name.
The release format is a package of 750 g at 2.10 euros per unit2.80 euros per kilo, therefore they are the most faces of the whole range; “regular” thin frozen fries are only €1.54 per kilo.
In addition to trying to show off well on the packaging that they’re perfect for cooking in the air fryer, this variety of pre-fried potatoes They can be made, like all, in a normal fryer or in the oven. Looking at the small print of its ingredients we verify that they are far from being a healthy product “home style” (home style), because of all the product we have 89% potato with skin, the rest being a mixture of vegetable oils (rapeseed and sunflower), starch and flour, dextrose and additives such as raising agent, thickener or flavoring based on turmeric extract.
Like other Mercadona frozen potatoes, this new reference comes from the Netherlands and are manufactured by the company LambWestonspecialized at a European level in solutions based on this tuber for the Horeca, hospitality and delivery.
